The Kick-Eez Pad M77 Wd/Sav 108 is a pre-fit recoil pad engineered to reduce shot and rifle recoil impact on wood and savage-profile stocks. Built from Sorbothane material, this pad absorbs energy efficiently while maintaining durability through extended shooting sessions. If you shoot a Wood or Savage stock and want to tame felt recoil without a complete stock replacement, this pre-fit option is designed to drop in with minimal fuss—though some final fitting may be required depending on your specific firearm.
Kick-Eez engineered this pad with a 3 5/8" hole spacing to deliver consistent support across the contact area between pad and shoulder. The 1-1/8" thickness strikes a practical balance: substantial enough to noticeably absorb recoil energy, but not so thick it throws off your gun's balance or handling. Sorbothane is proven in firearms applications for its ability to dampen vibration and reduce the punishment of high-recoil rifles and shotguns, making this pad popular with hunters and range shooters who don't want to absorb punishment shot after shot.
The M77 Wd/Sav designation tells you this pad is designed around the dimensions of Winchester Model 77 and Savage-pattern stocks. Installation is straightforward: if the fit is close, you're mounting and shooting. If minor adjustment is needed, you can customize the pad using a disc or belt sander—start with 80–100 grit to remove material, then finish with 220–400 grit and radius the edges for a professional look. This flexibility means you're not locked into a one-size-fits-all solution; you get the speed of a pre-fit pad with the precision of custom work if your stock needs it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this recoil pad fit my wood or Savage stock without modification?
The Kick-Eez Pad M77 Wd/Sav 108 is designed as a pre-fit pad for those stock profiles. However, finishing or custom fitment may be required depending on your specific firearm and stock dimensions. If the fit is close, installation is straightforward. If adjustment is needed, you can carefully sand the pad to match your stock using a disc or belt sander.
Can I customize this pad to fit my stock more precisely?
Yes. If the pre-fit dimensions don't match your stock exactly, you can use a disc or belt sander to grind the pad to size. Start with 80 or 100 grit sandpaper to remove material, make several passes to manage heat, then finish with 220 or 400 grit and radius the edges for a clean appearance.
How much recoil reduction will this pad provide?
The Sorbothane material is designed to absorb and dampen recoil energy effectively. The 1-1/8" thickness offers meaningful cushioning. Actual felt recoil reduction depends on your rifle or shotgun caliber, your firearm's weight, and your shooting technique, but Sorbothane pads are established for reducing both perceived and actual recoil impact.
What tools do I need to install or fit this pad?
Installation hardware requirements depend on your stock design. If custom fitting is needed, you'll want a disc or belt sander, along with 80–100 grit sandpaper for material removal and 220–400 grit for finishing. A scotch brite pad is also useful for radiusing edges.
