PAC PAD 500B Rifle - Large Black/Black Base

The Pachmayr PAC PAD 500B Rifle recoil pad in large size is a field-proven choice for shooters tired of pounding shoulders and rifles that slip during shooting. This rifle recoil pad uses a distinctive internal ribbing design to gradually absorb and dissipate impact energy rather than transfer it straight into your shoulder—a meaningful difference whether you're running magnum rounds at the range, hunting with a hard-kicking rifle, or putting rounds downrange all day. The textured basketweave surface provides a gripping face that resists slipping on your shoulder, so your gun stays mounted where you need it.

Pachmayr recoil pads have been the working standard in gunsmithing and custom rifle building for decades because the high-grade rubber can be shaped and fitted to your specific stock and gun geometry. The PAC PAD 500B comes ready to install, but its material responds well to sanding and grinding if you need a custom fit—something mass-produced pads simply won't do. The screw hole spacing and toe taper are engineered specifically for large rifle applications, ensuring a proper, secure fit on rifles designed for larger pad dimensions.

Whether you're building a precision rifle, upgrading a heritage firearm, or working with a magnum that needs real recoil management, the Pachmayr PAC PAD 500B Large gives you the pad the industry has trusted for generations—backed by rubber that actually works and a design built for shooters, not spreadsheets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the PAC PAD 500B fit my rifle stock?

The PAC PAD 500B is sized for large rifle applications. The screw hole spacing and toe taper are engineered to fit a wide variety of full-sized rifle stocks. If your stock is designed for a large recoil pad, this pad is built to mount properly. Check your current pad or stock specifications to confirm the large size is correct for your rifle.

Can I customize the fit to my specific stock?

Yes. The Pachmayr PAC PAD 500B is made from high-grade rubber that grinds and sands easily, making it ideal for custom fitting. If you need a precise fit to your stock geometry, the material can be shaped by a gunsmith or skilled shooter using standard tools.

How much does this pad reduce recoil?

The internal ribbing design gradually absorbs impact energy and protects your shoulder from felt recoil. The basketweave face also keeps the pad from slipping on your shoulder, which improves stability and reduces the sense of movement during firing. The actual reduction depends on your rifle caliber and load, but Pachmayr pads are designed to make a meaningful difference in shootability and comfort.

What comes in the box?

The PAC PAD 500B includes the recoil pad itself, ready to install. Hardware (screws) and installation support depend on your specific stock; check with your gunsmith or stock manufacturer for any additional fasteners you may need.
