recommendation for slip on pad?

[todd phillips]

I am looking for a good looking leather slip on pad to add about 1/2" LOP.
Any recommendations? Thank you.

[Bill Murphy]

NOT the pad that Brownell is selling now under the Brauer Brothers name. It is not fitted to a gun and Brownell has apologized for its lack of fit.

I love my leatherman pad. Check em out. Great products.

[John Dallas]

I like the CSMC pad.

I use a Pachmayr pad. They absorb recoil well, and the interior of the pad is quite soft so it won't leave any discoloration on your stock. ( at least they haven't on any of mine )

Have similar pads made by Galco. Easy on easy off, look good, fun mount is easy. If the lop is still a little short there is room for a thin piece of cardboard.

I have both the CSMC gamekeeper and the Galco

Either is a good choice

The Galco is better finished a bit more expensive and harder to find

I, too; have both and have the same conclusions that Rick has. Either brand adds 5/8" to the LOP on my guns.

Galco has two sizes and I love them both both, one for 28/410 stocks and the other for larger stocks. Very high quality and good looks.

Galco leather slip-ins are the better looking... so good in fact that mine was stolen about ten years ago and I haven't bought a replacement Galco since.

I believe I have three; small,medium and large. Let me know what size you think you need. I'd probably part with one or two of them. Seems to me the small fit a 20ga O-frame about right.

Actually, Galco offers 5 different sizes. CSMC Gamekeeper pads are offered in 3 sizes.

The Leatherman pads are cool looking but the metal buckle concerns me a little...possible hang up on clothing, potential for scratches..? I don't know.

[Rich Anderson]

I use a Galco pad on several different guns. As mentioned there is room for a spacer and I have made one out of some thin styrofoam for that little added LOP.

[Phil Yearout]

These look pretty slick as far as easy on/easy off, but I wonder how the elastic panel would hold up?

maybe for clays

not sure i would drag an "easy off" through one of my woodcock covers

[Rich Anderson]

Phil I have one like that and it has held up for years. No problems with the elastic stretching, still snug.

Well, you know; don't have to worry about much that where I stomp ;)...

Phil, I have a friend that lives in Cleveland OK, went to visit him a few years ago and he took me north to the Kansas border do not know exactly where we were but looked like that and there was buffalo roaming wild and prairie grass as far as the eye could see, I think it was some sort of refuge, are you close to a place like that? your photo brought that back to memory, Gary

[Phil Yearout]

Gary, the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge is near Canton Kansas, around 90 miles north of the Kansas/Oklahoma border; they have a large heard of buffalo there. There's the Plumlee Buffalo ranch which would be east and north of there. I've also heard of a herd in southeast Kansas but I don't know where.

This photo was taken south and west of Hill City; quite a ways west and north of both of those places. No buffalo here but east of Hill City is a ranch with some buffalo. So I don't know where you might have been.

The company I work for builds financial buildings and one of my projects was in Cleveland, OK. Small world.

I've used Galco pads with success. Two or three sizes. Nice looking.

[Dave Noreen]

It has been my experience that those Galco Leather Pads (I have X-Small, Small and Medium) can be pretty slick and don't always keep the butt where you want it in recoil from the first shot. The Pachmayr rubber slip-ons generally keep the butt where I want it. The slick leather pads may be better for a fast mount in Dean's Woodcock thicket!! Some of my old guns with original leather-faced pads have that same slipping issue.

[Eric Grims]

I have two game keeper pads in different sizes. They tend to generally work for me but they are so darn thick and stiff. Any suggestion on making them soft and more supple?

Me! Look at my leather covered pad folder
