Wildfowler12 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 The butt plate on my stock has cracked and I'm considering fitting one of the above to it. Recoil doesn't bother me, but I figured for an extra £20 why wouldn't anyone want to reduce it? Does anyone have any of these fitted? Do they actually work and is there any downsides to them? To add, I won't be fitting it myself, my gunsmith will do if for £30. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard.Hosgood Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Yes they work, a noticeable difference too. I changed from a limbsaver to standard butt pad between rounds at a shoot last night and definatley felt a difference, much softer with the limbsaver. (If you need one for a beretta sporting stock, mines for sale!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert 888 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I had a Kick eez fit to my browning by the gunsmith at NWSS,it cost me £75 fitted without removing any of the stock,its a very good job and it saved my buying a new gun as it works very well i would recomend one.

HDAV Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Have a look at ISIS thinner than kick eez http://www.recoilsystems.com/greenpad/green.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coyotemaster Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 I have a kick-eez on my Browning and like it. I went with the after market pad in order to shorten the LOP by .25. I couldn't imagine you could shoot the same with your gun if you add the pad without removing like amount of wood. The better it fits you the better you will shoot.

Wildfowler12 Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Cheers for the comments, I'll be having the wood cut down so the LOP will be the same. I'm just trying to decode if it's worth it, it will be about £85 all in I think. Cheers for the comments, I'll be having the wood cut down so the LOP will be the same.

Wildfowler12 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Silly question... But I'm guessing that a thicker pad will perform better than a thinner pad (re: recoil reduction). With that in mind, will the 28mm pads have a noticeable effect on the balance of the gun, if the wood is cut down to keep the L.O.P the same?

Wildfowler12 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Apologies for bringing up an old thread, but incase anybody is considering one of these... I had about 80 shots today for the first time having had the kick-eez fitted. There was a MASSIVE difference in felt recoil/vibration etc. I felt confident taking my second shot too, although my scores didn't improve I'd highly recommend to anybody considering a new pad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fieldwanderer Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I bought a lincoln no.2 the other day and it's a bit of a bruiser :unsure: Points very nicely and, though it's a budget gun (I was looking to buy something a bit posher really), I bought it because it simply felt right. I've since bought a sorbothane absorb all pad, I'll report back when I've tried it Now then, it's 18mm thick and the plastic plate it's currently got is about 6mm - so it'll end up about 12mm (nearly 1/2") longer LOP, I'm going to try it before I cut anything though as I feel it's (the gun, that is) slightly on the short side even though it's correct with the elbow - finger test and the nose to right thumb are correct - any advice much appreciated. As a side note, anyone know if they're chrome lined and/or suitable for steel shot (I understand I may need different chokes even if the barrel's suitable)?

I've since bought a sorbothane absorb all pad, I'll report back when I've tried it No idea on the steel front mate but the old crook of the arm to finger test is a load of pants. Length isnt a vital aspect, its better a little short than a little long. You want about 2 fingers gap between your nose and back of your thumb when mounted. The main thing is if it feels good, its right for you. Enjoy. Now then, it's 18mm thick and the plastic plate it's currently got is about 6mm - so it'll end up about 12mm (nearly 1/2") longer LOP, I'm going to try it before I cut anything though as I feel it's (the gun, that is) slightly on the short side even though it's correct with the elbow - finger test and the nose to right thumb are correct - any advice much appreciated.

Normal steel is fine mate, High Performance steel (shot size larger than no.4) is not suitable in the Lincoln, as the gun has not had the appropriate pressure test (1370 bar). Having said that my mate has put 100's of HP steel loads through his No.2 without a problem, I certainly wouldn't do it to mine though (That's what the Benelli is for).

fieldwanderer Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Well, I said I'd report back and I'm happy to say the sorbothane absorb-all pad has helped a lot! I still wouldn't put it against me knackers instead of my shoulder and pull the trigger but it's certainly better than it was. Thanks for the help re. Steel shot wildfowler, I'll have a think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
