recoil pad for my 870

NottelyBILL · Jan 23, 2007

I have hunted every where for a made to fit recoil pad for my 870, to save my shoulder, with no success. How hard is it to grind one down? Seems there are a mutitude of sizes on the 870 wooden stock. Also how expencive is it to have a gunsmith do it.

Sims makes the prefit Limbsaver for the 870.

I prefer the HiViz X Coil, but the Limbsaver is good.

My Gunsmith will mount and grind to fit a recoil pad for $40.00.

This one

charges about $50 plus the pad.... :biggrin2:

Generally labor is $35 to $75 dollars if that helps.

If you don't have any luck look on ebay. You can just about buy a entire stock set with a r3 recoil pad for what it will cost you to have another installed on yours.
Just an idea.
I have a R3 on my 870 and it's great. Makes those 31/2's feel like a 20 guage.

the R3 will only fit synthetic stocks I do believe...or at least the one I just gave away was that way

NB
Check this site They have templates that you can print out and match to your gun Butt. 870 in wood is listed as one of their prefit pads.

It's pretty easy to grind one down to fit. Put a piece of electrical tape on the stock and grind down to the tape. or just mark it the grind it down.
