i totally forgot last night when i ordered my Boyds stock and now i'm looking at a sore shoulder with the 1/2" pad they put on their stocks . I should have got the 1" pad but it's to late now ,so what aftermarket pad can i slip over the Prairie hunter stock that will fit well and soak up more of the recoil so i don't screw my shoulder up more than it is now
Don't even bother with a slip over. If your going to do it, do it right and get a grind to fit pad. Limbsaver or pachmayer are the best with the pachmayer being easiest to work with IMO.
If you just ordered it last night, they won't change your order ?

I'm going with a limb saver on my new Boyds stock since what comes with it is less than desirable...
"2111", I use the Limbsaver slip on pads a lot. On Boyds & Stockys, I can get a small size on with a large over it for bench rest shooting. With the extra length of pull, I really have to lean into it, but it really absorbs the recoil, and prevents "scope eye". I get mine at Walmart because they have the best price. They are Limbsavers but are marketed as "Winchester". I guess because of the extra clothing, etc., I never notice recoil when hunting, so I don't use them for that. For me, "form follows function" ;-)
Good Luck-Good Shooting.....Jim
You can also try a Past recoil shield.

Good point! I think Limbsaver makes 1/2 thick slip on's too that wouldn't add so much length.
I did same, forgot to ad limbsaver on Boyds Featherweight thumbhole stock, I contacted cust. service the next day and asked to ADD 1" limbsaver on stock that had not even started processing and they told me that I would have to cancel order, charge me a restocking fee of 12%-15% and then reorder. You know, that kinda irritated me a lil, here I am wanting to buy another item from them but they will still hit me with a "re-stocking charge" for something that has not even been un-stocked to begin with. I'm want to cancel my order totally, pay the restocking fee and forget about it, but I want the **** stock. geezzzzz-----If any of Boyds people read this and can assist me with some good customer support, PM me
