The Pachmayr 500B Presentation Rifle Pad (Medium, 0.40", Brown) is a grind-to-fit rubber buttpad designed to replace hard plastic, horn, or steel factory buttplates. Measuring 0.40 inches (approximately 10.2 mm) in thickness, it provides positive shoulder retention and stock protection without significantly altering a rifle's length of pull (LOP). It features a traditional basketweave non-slip face and a rounded field contour at the heel and toe to ensure smooth, snag-free mounting against hunting apparel.

Key Features

• Low-Profile Design: Adds only 0.40 inches of thickness to the buttstock, preserving the firearm's original length of pull.
• Field-Style Contour: Rounded heel and toe profiles eliminate sharp edges that catch on jackets during rapid shoulder mounting.
• Basketweave Texture: Face stippling provides reliable, non-slip shoulder purchase between shots.
• Grind-to-Fit Base: Solid, reinforced base construction allows gunsmiths to scribe and grind the pad flush with wood or synthetic stock profiles.

Who is the Pachmayr 500B Presentation Rifle Pad Medium 0.4" Brown for?

• Hunters carrying classic sporter rifles in low-recoil calibres — requires a non-slip rubber pad sized at 1.80 in width by 5.50 in length to replace hard factory buttplates on rimfire or light centerfire field rifles without snagging clothing.
• Shooters wanting to maintain existing stock length — benefits from this grind-to-fit rifle recoil pad because its slim 0.40 in (10.2 mm) thickness adds shoulder traction while keeping length of pull changes to a minimum.

Less suitable for: Shooters using moderate-to-heavy recoiling calibres (such as .30-06 or .300 Win Mag) or heavy shotgun loads; these require a thicker 0.8-inch to 1.0-inch shock-absorbing recoil pad rather than this 0.40-inch butt protector.
