Hi all,

Im going to be having a Ruger No1 restocked and have been thinking about recoil pads. I like the looks of the old Silvers but calibre is going to be 450/400 and I know I wont like the lack of recoil absorption.

Just wondering what the Pachmayr Old English pads are like. Do they finish nicely to compliment good walnut and how are they at recoil absorption?

Pics welcome, thanks!

I do not know any better. I have one in my 9,3x64 Husqvarna and pad (of course with 4,5 kg weight) makes the rifle quite nice to shoot.

Try one of the Red/Orange Pachmayr Decelerators in the Old English Face and Contour. Looks like a Vintage pad but has the advantage of modern Mat'ls

I've got the red one on my 470, works fine and a noticable decrease in recoil over the kick-eze that was on there.

Thanks for the feeback guys, reckon I'll go with it.

I'd reckon I'vee built as many heavies as the next guy. I've found the Kick Eze too wishy washy...the appearance of eilther the Kilck Eze or Pachmyar leave something to be desired.

Silvers looks best..but yes, it's a little on the stiff side. Have you tried the newer model of the Silvers type from Galazan?

I think they really hit the happy medium along with great looks (top nib)

Hi Duane,

Thanks for the info, no I havn't seen the Galazan pad but I'll check it out now thanks. Might be just the thing Im looking for.
