Ventura Slim, SASS #35690 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I want to add a recoil pad to a 97. The wooden stock is not straight so I guess you could shorten it and get something soft to fit the curve or cut it and put on a pad with a plastic base. I figure I will shorten the stock either way to get the length of pull right. Thanks in advance amigos, Slim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I really like the lace on leather recoil pad I got from Cabelas. It also has a nice piece of silcon inside that really works well on recoil. I think I paid $39 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck D. Law, SASS #62183 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I love my Limbsaver Grind to Fit. Cut your stock, then measure the end to determine which size. It will most likely be the small one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curley Cole, SASS #56849 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I got me an old Winchester 97 from hud. It had an old rubber cushion pad on the end that was about to rot off. So we took it off and I got a replacement buttplate from Dixie Gun and installed it... The Featherlite clone loads I use there ain't much need for cushioning the stock.... like ol Big Jake says.....just sayin... curley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Shorten stock so that it is 1/2 to 3/4 inch shorter, with pad installed, thatn what you woudl shoot for a sporting gun. And cut at about 5 degree angle (so the toe, bottom of stock, is closer to the action than the comb). This will help you get on ground targets much quicker and more reliably. Limbsaver Grind to Fit! A "prefit" won't work if you have shortened the stock or have a curve you have to remove. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Coles SASS 1188 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I have a 97 stock with a recoil pad and would like to have one without a pad. How about a trade? Send me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb.1 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Limbsaver #10111 $30. I cut to fit door shims to fill the difference between the curved stock and the flat limbsaver. Covered it up with a leather butt cover custom made 1" longer by Slapout. (just google Old slap out holsters). Mr Slapout didn't even charge extra and is quite a nice guy to deal with. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
