The only problems I've had with limbsavers is that over time I have had multiple units go soft and melt into sticky goo. This is not from getting solvent on them as I first thought or from heat, but seems to be a systemic problem. Over time the Limbsavers have messed up one of my nice soft rifle cases and have also melted in my safe sticking the butt of a couple of my rifles to the interior carpet and making a mess. Remington even did a "quiet recall" on a bunch of their 700s including their higher end flagship 700CDL SF anniversary editions because of the recoil pads going soft and melting. They do indeed work extremely well to reduce recoil but in my experience do not hold up well over time. I truly hope the long term stability of their material is something they can address. I couldn't find the slip on to get a pic but I'm pretty sure I still have it.
