Default Galazan Gamekeeper slip-on recoil pad size

Hello - by chance, has anyone used one of the Galazan slip-on recoil pads for their Repro? In need of one for my 20 ga. Repro and have taken measurements of the butt and think the Medium size should fit but would prefer not to have to make a return... I'm a little concerned about the 5" length (toe to heel measures almost exactly 5") but thinking that the contour of the heel/spur will allow use of the medium pad.. Any first hand experience with this product use on a 20 ga. repro appreciated.

Jerry,

You will need the Large size. The Medium will not fit. I would advise you to call your order in by phone to make sure a Large is ordered and shipped. I ordered a Large via their web site and a Medium showed up. Good luck.

Todd - thanks much for the reply. I will do as you advise and give them a call. Is it the heel to toe dimension that makes the Medium not work? My measurements are 5"L x 1.5"W.

Thanks again,
Jerry

I'm not trying to be confusing, but I've got a medium size Galazan Gamekeeper Slip-On Pad that fits my 20-ga. Repro's stock perfectly. IMHO, a large would be too big.

No problem Greg. Maybe my pads are not broke in enough yet to fit correctly.

I just tried the medium on my 20 Repro (5" length)and the Velcro will not secure due to it being too far apart to overlap. Also, the toe does not go all the way down inside pad like it should. However, it fits my 28 Repro perfect (4 5/8" length). Again, my pads are still fairly new and there is not much stretch in the leather. Or, maybe my medium pad was just made smaller than normal?

Jerry, I don't know. You might have to order both M & L to see which fits your gun the best.

I spoke with the folks at Galazan this afternoon and ended up getting the large size. The gentleman said the new inventory they just received measure very close to 5" in the heel to toe dimension. It may however, end up being a little large in the width. I will be driving right by the shop(s) on my way up to Vermont's Northeast Kingdom next month so may have an excuse to stop in..either way, I'll post back with results on the fit.

Dean, nearby Lyndonville is 'town' for us but we roam covers from there north to around Island Pond.

That's just about where I hunt..... maybe 5 - 10 miles from Lyndonville. Excellent grouse country around there.

Remember to have breakfast at the Lyndonville Diner (across the street from the sporting goods store) and order the deep-fried french toast.... it is unbelievably fantastic!!!
