The Pachmayr 752B Old English Skeet Style Recoil Pad (Model 01612) is a grind-to-fit rubber buttpad engineered for shotguns and sporting rifles. Featuring a 1.00-inch (25.4 mm) thickness made from Pachmayr's Decelerator super-soft rubber compound, it absorbs kinetic shock and disperses felt recoil across calibres ranging from .410 bore up to magnum shotgun and centre-fire rifle loads. The pre-ground Medium base measures 5.50 inches (139.7 mm) in length by 1.80 inches (45.7 mm) in width, allowing gunsmiths and shooters to grind and contour the pad directly to match the exact profile of wooden or synthetic buttstocks. Its classic leather-look stippled face combines with rounded heel and toe edges to facilitate rapid, snag-free shoulder mounting from low-ready positions.

Key Features

• Decelerator Rubber Core: Features a skeletonised internal core design that dampens recoil energy and reduces shooter fatigue during high-volume shooting sessions.
• Skeet and Field Profile: Incorporates radiused edges at the heel and toe to prevent clothing snag during rapid gun mounting.
• Grind-to-Fit Customisation: Designed to be shaped using standard grinding jigs and sanders to achieve a flush fit on stocks within its 5.50 in × 1.80 in footprint.
• Classic Aesthetic: Finished with a solid black base and a fine leather-textured stippled face suited for traditional sporting shotguns and field rifles.
• Universal Firearm Compatibility: Suitable for multi-gauge shotguns (12, 20, 28 gauge, and .410 bore) as well as rimfire and centreline hunting rifles.

Who is the Pachmayr 752B Old English 1 Inch Skeet Style Recoil Pad 01612 for?

• Sporting clays and skeet shooters — needs the rounded heel and toe profile of this 1.00-inch (25.4 mm) thick recoil pad to execute smooth, snag-free shotgun mounts from low-ready positions without catching on clay vest material.
• Upland bird hunters — benefits from the 1.00-inch (25.4 mm) Decelerator rubber compound that disperses felt recoil during fast-handling field shooting while profiling down from a 5.50-inch (139.7 mm) pre-ground length.
• Shooters custom-fitting classic sporting rifle stocks — requires a grind-to-fit recoil pad with a 1.80-inch (45.7 mm) pre-ground width and a 1.450-inch (36.83 mm) insert width that allows custom shaping without exposing internal skeletonised cavities.

Less suitable for: Firearm stocks exceeding 5.50 inches in length or 1.80 inches in width, which require a Large-format grind-to-fit pad (5.75" × 1.92"), as well as narrow stocks under 1.450 inches in width where grinding into the insert core would expose internal cavities.
