The Pachmayr 500B Presentation Rifle Recoil Pad (Model 00707) is a grind-to-fit replacement pad designed to upgrade hard factory plastic or steel buttplates. Built with a slim 0.40-inch (approximately 10 mm) profile, it provides a stable, non-slip rubber surface without substantially altering a firearm's length of pull. Its field-style profile features rounded heel edges and smooth sides to facilitate quick, snag-free firearm mounting against hunting apparel.

Key Features

• Low-Profile Design: Measures 0.40 inches thick to deliver shoulder protection and positive traction without adding excessive length of pull.
• Field-Style Profile: Contoured with smooth sides and a rounded heel to prevent hunting jackets and gear from catching during rapid shouldering.
• Non-Slip Texture: Features a basketweave face pattern that maintains traction against the shoulder in wet, dusty, or humid conditions.
• Grind-to-Fit Construction: Fabricated from grindable black rubber moulded over an internal metal baseplate insert with a 1.325-inch insert width, allowing precise gunsmith shaping to match wood or synthetic stocks.
• Solid Black Base: Features a clean, solid black base without a white-line spacer for a classic appearance.

Who is the Pachmayr 500B Presentation Rifle Recoil Pad for?

• Hunters and shooters retrofitting rimfire and low-recoil centrefire rifles — replacing hard factory buttplates with a grind-to-fit rifle recoil pad that adds non-slip basketweave traction at a thin 0.40 in profile, avoiding substantial changes to the firearm's length of pull.
• Gunsmiths and shooters custom-fitting compact rifle stocks — shaping the grindable rubber perimeter to match buttstocks that sit within the pad's pre-ground footprint of 5.30 in length and 1.68 in width.

Less suitable for: Heavy-recoiling or magnum calibres such as 12-gauge shotguns, .30-06, or .300 Win Mag, which require a thicker 0.8-inch to 1.0-inch internally cored decelerating recoil pad; and stocks exceeding 5.30 inches in length or 1.68 inches in width, which require a Medium or Large recoil pad variant.
