Pachmayr Decelerator Magnum Slip-On Recoil Pad - Medium, Brown Rubber (01408)

The Pachmayr Decelerator Magnum slip-on recoil pad in medium size is a straightforward solution for shooters looking to tame felt recoil on magnum rifles and shotguns. Built from Pachmayr's time-tested Decelerator rubber compound, this pad slides over your existing stock or foregrip without requiring permanent modification. It's the kind of upgrade that makes longer shooting sessions more comfortable, especially when you're running magnum loads that bite hard.

The pad features a solid base construction with tapered internal ribbing designed to absorb and disperse impact energy rather than just compress under recoil. The smooth exterior finish gives a clean look while the brown rubber blends naturally with most wood and synthetic stocks. At medium dimensions (1.80" wide by 5.50" long), it's sized to fit a typical rifle or shotgun buttstock—wide enough to spread recoil across your shoulder without creating dead zones.

If you shoot magnums or heavy-recoiling rifles regularly, you know how fatigue compounds over a long day at the range or in the field. A good recoil pad isn't a luxury—it's wear-and-tear reduction for your shoulder and a practical way to keep your shooting technique consistent when that muzzle blast arrives. The Decelerator accomplishes this with no fuss and no white line showing at the edges once installed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this recoil pad fit my magnum rifle?

The Pachmayr Decelerator Magnum pad in medium size is designed for standard rifle and shotgun stocks. Measure your existing buttstock against the pad dimensions (1.80" wide by 5.50" long) to confirm fit before purchase. If you're between sizes, consider that slip-on pads compress slightly under use.

Do I need to trim or customize this pad?

No. The Decelerator slip-on pad is ready to install straight out of the box. Simply slide it over your stock. No grinding, finishing, or trimming required.

What's the difference between medium and the other sizes?

Pachmayr offers the Decelerator in three sizes: Small (1.68" × 5.30"), Medium (1.80" × 5.50"), and Large (1.92" × 5.75"). Medium is the most common size for hunting rifles and shotguns. Choose based on your stock diameter and length—this ensures a secure fit that won't shift under recoil.

Is this pad permanent, or can I remove it?

The pad is a slip-on design, which means you can remove or reposition it without damage to your rifle or shotgun. It's not cemented or pinned in place.
