Pachmayr .85'' Small Black Lined Checkered

The Pachmayr .85'' Small Black Lined Checkered recoil pad is a classic choice for shooters who want to tame recoil and lock their gun firmly in place. Built with Pachmayr's proven internal ribbing design, this pad gradually absorbs impact energy to reduce felt recoil and protect your shoulder during extended shooting sessions. The .85-inch size fits smaller stocks, making it ideal for compact rifles, youth models, and firearms with narrower butt dimensions.

What sets this pad apart is its dual-purpose surface: the checkered finish delivers the grip you need for consistent gun handling without the gun slipping around on your shoulder, while the soft rubber construction provides genuine cushioning. Unlike slick synthetic pads, the textured pattern keeps your gun mounted securely whether you're shooting in shirtsleeves or wearing a coat. The high-grade rubber can be field-shaped or professionally fitted if your stock requires minor contouring for a perfect fit.

Pachmayr recoil pads have been the go-to choice for shooters who refuse to compromise on comfort or control. The black color is versatile enough to blend with most wood and synthetic stocks. Whether you're zeroing a new hunting rifle, running a precision rifle course, or putting rounds downrange at the bench, a quality recoil pad is one of the simplest upgrades you can make to improve your shooting experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size rifle stocks is the .85'' Pachmayr pad designed for?

The .85-inch size is engineered for smaller rifle stocks, including compact models, youth rifles, and firearms with narrower butt dimensions. If you're unsure whether this size matches your stock, measure your existing pad or stock butt width to confirm.

Will this recoil pad really reduce felt recoil?

Yes. The internally ribbed design is specifically engineered to gradually absorb recoil energy rather than transfer it directly to your shoulder, resulting in noticeably reduced felt kick during shooting.

Can I install this pad myself?

The high-grade rubber can be field-shaped to fit your stock. Many shooters install their own pads, though a gunsmith can ensure a professional fit if needed.

Why is the checkered surface important?

The checkered finish provides secure grip and prevents the gun from slipping around on your shoulder during shooting, which is especially valuable in field conditions or when wearing different clothing.
