Recoil pad for stevens 200

[tjf76]

Bought a used Stevens 200 in 300 win mag and would like to upgrade the recoil pad, the factory one is hard as a rock. Anyone know part #s for pre-fit pads that will work? For the Limbsaver I was told the part # is 10111 but that states its for remington 700 wood.

Thanks!

Limbsaver doesn't make a precision fit for the Savage/Steven's synthetic stock. If you decide to go with a grind-to-fit model, do yourself a favor and throw it in the freezer before you install and try to shape it. Being frozen will make it a WHOLE lot easier to grind down without having it tear/shred on you. Same goes for the Pachmyer Decelerator Pad which is very similar.

Thanks for the info! Was also think on the slip on type. Never have used one before though.

The LimbSaver Slip-on pad is designed to be used without your original stock pad in place - at least that's what Steve Sims told me back in 06 or 06 when he sent us a couple to play with and review. Of course, that was after I had finished my review and posted it with the original pad still in place the whole time. Live and learn!
