Dekers Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 HI everyone, I could do with your help please. I understand this is a common problem so the solution should be easy, but so far it isn't. My 700 SPS Recoil pad is going soft and sticky, whilst also being crisp in part, basically useless. Any ideas where I can get a new one please? Remington used to supply replacements on an industrial scale to end users but that all stopped last time they went bust (2020).

Scully Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I genuinely don’t know where to find a replacement, but have you considered a ‘butt sleeve’? You just remove the existing, and slide the sleeve over the stock. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood. You’ll enjoy the Tikka; great rifles, and a magazine to boot! Unlike my 700 BDL. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike my 700 BDL. 👍 Yep, I already have Tikkas in .223 and .243, and whilst the .308 Remington has served me well, and is accurate and reliable, for some reason I fancy a Tikka in .308 to replace it.
