Marksman1997 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I recently posted a new topic that i was looking some advice on but with no reply. I thought it was because of a boring topic title so i changed it a little just to see. So sorry to disappoint you but No i DID NOT kill a cat! What i really want to know is : Adjustable Recoil pad... Any real advantage of this in the field? as it is mainly hunting that i will be doing. Also the adjustable pad is bannana shaped (prob not official description) as opposed to flat. Does this make it sit in your shoulder better? Thanks in Advance!!! Sorry for misleading title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert 888 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I fitted the Bisley type rubber and aluminium one. It sits better in your shoulder and your get the same mount every time once set up. I like mine,well better than the standard one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Having a banana as a recoil pad would work for one or maybe 2 shots but there's loads to take into consideration. Rifle calibre. rifle weight bullet weight powder load and don't forget of course the ripeness of the banana. The temperature and humidity will also have an impact but not enough for concern. Would I use one in the field? No. If you find my reply misleading I apologise. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 If your stock is a bit short for you then an adjustable pad will lengthen it a little, other than that, if it ain't broke don't fix it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksman1997 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Good advice from all! Thank you! I probably don't need one but was just getting a custom stock made and it was an optional extra for a extra £30 as opposed to the standard one and i was just wondering if it would make any difference accuracy/comfort wise?

Marksman1997 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Also another thing i would like a few opinions on: Standard checkering vs Skip Checkering vs Stippling??? Just want to hear your personal Preference! Also would love pictures as i have never really seen good comparison for them and that might help me decide!

David M Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I have an adjustable butt pad on my s400 and it aids perfect head/eye alignment to the scope. I use the lowest scope mounts I can get away with to keep the scope as close to the barrel as possible, this then makes the eye alignment too low with a fixed pad. I have my pad dropped 1/2" to raise the rifle. I have a fixed pad on my springer and am lucky it's perfect with the scope objective only just missing the barrel. If you need higher mounts due to incorrect eye alignment, I'd recommend investing the £30. Both of my guns now sport 3-9x40AO scopes and I find I shoot the pcp mainly on x9 and the springer around x5 to x7., but.. I knocked up a night vision add on last year and had to change my Hawke Nite-Eye 6-24x50 for a 3-9x40 scope so I had the lower x3 magnification to scan about with. I used to enjoy shooting the clear glassed Nite-Eye on x12 from a rest but I found it a tad wobbly in the field.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Cat fur folded several times with decent stitching might make a good recoil pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
