Glad to see that you liked the LH Model 16 that we got in for your daughter. I did see that the box was stamped "NewPad". I have been pretty impressed with the new Savage PAD System Rifles. Savage has made some comments on the New "PAD" Recoil Pad as being a serious reduction in fely recoil. This should be ideal for a young shooter.
