Pachmayr Old English Recoil Pad, Medium, Black Rubber, 1" Thick (Model 01407 DB752B)

The Pachmayr Old English Recoil Pad in medium size offers a classic solution for taming recoil on rifles and shotguns. Built from Pachmayr's proven Decelerator rubber compound, this pad absorbs impact energy and reduces felt recoil, making shooting more comfortable during range sessions and hunting trips. The medium size fits most standard rifle stocks and comes ready to install on your firearm—no trimming or finishing required.

What sets this recoil pad apart is its time-tested design: smooth exterior surfaces with internal tapered ribbing that works with the rubber's natural flex to manage impact forces effectively. The solid base sits flush against your stock, creating a clean appearance with no visible white line at the edges. At 1 inch thick, it provides meaningful recoil reduction without dramatically altering your gun's dimensions or balance.

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable working with rifle stocks. The medium dimensions (1.80" wide × 5.50" long) suit most modern rifle platforms, though verify your stock's recoil pad pocket before ordering to ensure proper fit. This is the kind of upgrade that pays dividends over a season of shooting—less shoulder punishment means better accuracy, longer shooting sessions, and genuinely more enjoyment behind the gun.
