Recoil pad for Remington 700 .270

[speakerguy79]

Does anyone have a recommendation for an aftermarket recoil pad for a Remington 700 in .270? It's an older model (my father's deer rifle he bought perhaps 25 years ago) and, if I recall, only has a plastic or metal butt plate.

Thanks!

Try to get a Remington R3 pad.

Get a Limbsaver...best pad on the market !

The old standby, Pachmayr Decelerator. It's famous for a good reason: it works.

Ad the kickeze for one to consider. All those mentioned are good.

I like the R3 on a shotgun. Have not tried it on a rifle.

I have a limbsaver on my 700 in .30-06. Makes a world of difference.

Limbsaver. But your kids will shoot up all your ammo.

Pachmayr for this reader.

I put a LimbSaver on mine. It was supposed to be a drop-in but the screw holes were off by a fraction and it looked bad. A minor modification to the pad corrected everything and the rifle is much more comfortable to shoot.

And to continue my quest to point out a complete lack or originality at Remington in the last 20 years, I would like to mention that the R3 pad is made by...................Limbsaver.

If your dad's rifle has a wood stock and it probably does you will probably want to have a gunsmith shorten the stock when installing a pad. If you don't you will change the length of pull dramatically. As skinewmexico stated the R3 and limbsaver pad are the same and I have been pleased with them.

I have a Limbsaver on my 30.06. I cant even feel it kick.
