Help with Recoil pad?
I have recently purchased a Simms limbsaver recoil pad for my Remingotn 700 bdl in 270 win and the wood stock is curved and the pad will not fit evenwhen it said it would fit my model. It said that I need to have a gunsmith to alter the stock to make it fit and I dont really want to alter my stock any suggestions?

RE: Help with Recoil pad?
If you want to install a Simms recoil pad you will have to have the stock flattened out and have a pad ground to fit the stock.
If you reread the fit guide it should tell you that it will fit a Remington BDL flat stock.
Simms "precision fit" recoil pads are far from precision fit. They get close but usually either leave wood exposed in spots around the pad or the pad is too large in spots.

A lot of guys don't like them but I prefer the Simms slip on pads. Besides not needing to grind anything to fit, I think they dampen recoil more than the screwed on ones do. Besides if you trade guns you can keep your pad. I find that if I take off the original pad and slip on the slip-on, the stock still fits me well.
