Pachmayr .80'' Small Black Leather Face

The Pachmayr .80'' Small Black Leather Face recoil pad is built from the company's proven Decelerator rubber compound—a material trusted by shooters who need genuine felt reduction without the guesswork. This pad sits between your shoulder and your rifle's buttstock, absorbing impact energy that would otherwise translate into felt recoil and muzzle rise. If you're running a rifle with a slimmer profile stock or working with a gun that has tight dimensions, the small size makes it a practical upgrade for hunters and precision shooters alike.

The construction features tapered internal ribbing that helps the pad compress and recover consistently across repeated shots. Its smooth exterior profile won't snag on clothing or gear, and the solid base design eliminates the white line gap you sometimes see on lower-quality pads—meaning cleaner aesthetics and a more integrated fit on your buttstock. The Decelerator material is engineered to withstand the cycles of magnum rifle recoil and everyday shooting without hardening or cracking over time.

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic gunsmithing: the pad simply glues onto your existing buttstock. Before ordering, confirm that the small dimensions—.80'' thick and 5.30'' wide—suit your rifle's current setup. If you're upgrading from a factory plastic pad or adding cushioning to a bare wood stock, this classic Pachmayr pad delivers noticeable comfort improvement at the shooting line or in the field.
