The Pachmayr F325 Deluxe Shotgun & Rifle Medium Black (SKU 00006) is a grind-to-fit mechanical recoil pad engineered for shotgun and rifle buttstocks. Constructed from specially formulated recoil-absorbing rubber with an open internal core design, it softens felt recoil and reduces collarbone impact during strings of fire. It features a stippled non-slip face for positive shoulder traction and rounded field-style edges designed to prevent catching on hunting jackets during rapid mounting. The base incorporates Pachmayr's classic white accent line spacer for traditional sporter aesthetics and is suited for universal screw-mounted installation on both wooden and synthetic stocks.

Key Features

• Internal Core Cushioning: Internal side coring works with resilient rubber to absorb recoil energy and soften the side profile against the collarbone.
• Field-Style Profile: Rounded contour face prevents snagging on clothing during fast gun-mounting motions.
• Stippled Non-Slip Texture: Positive surface texturing ensures steady shoulder placement without excessive stickiness.
• White Line Accent: Classic contrasting base spacer complements traditional sporter rifles and field shotguns.
• Mechanical Fitment: Universal screw-on, grind-to-fit rubber pad requiring standard gunsmithing disc-sander shaping.

Who is the Pachmayr F325 Deluxe Medium for?

• Upland game bird hunters fitting traditional field shotguns — requires the 1.1 in total thickness and rounded field-style edge contour of this grind-to-fit shotgun recoil pad to cushion heavy 12-gauge or 20-gauge loads while mounting smoothly without catching on heavy jackets.
• Clay target shooters upgrading sporting shotgun stocks — benefits from the 0.22 kg rubber construction and internal side coring, which reduce cumulative recoil and soften collarbone impact during high-volume strings on buttstocks within its 5.40 in by 1.95 in base dimensions.
• Hunters and shooters using standard centerfire to moderate magnum rifles — relies on the 5.40 in length and 1.90 to 1.95 in width base profile of this grind-to-fit pad to match standard sporter stocks chambered from .243 Win up to .300 Win Mag.

Less suitable for: Buttstocks exceeding 5.40 in in length or 1.95 in in width (which require a large-dimension grind-to-fit pad), very slender stocks measuring under 1.8 in width (which require a small-profile pad to prevent exposing internal cavities), or high-volume magnum calibres like .375 H&H, .416, and dedicated slug guns (which require ultra-soft proprietary magnum-grade recoil pad compounds).
