H S Precision Recoil Pad

[nmkid]

I recently purchased a PSS 010 stock from HS Precision for my new 30-06. I guess I have become a softy to recoil after a few years of shooting smaller caliber rifles. The pad on this stock is as soft as the desk my keyboard is sitting on! So, is the current pad screwed or glued on? I also need recommendations for a different(softer) pad. I shot the rifle 66 times yesterday and the stock pad has got to go.

Most of the hs stocks ive messed with are glued on

OK. So, I just did some Internet surfing and it seems that one of the ways to remove the current pad is to place a screwdriver on the pad at an angle and hit it with a hammer!?

Or you can just take it on a pretty intense hunt and it will just fall off

I had a 6.5-06AI built not too long ago. I had an older from 35+ years ago H-S Precision stock that I had the builder put a Pachmayr decel pad on. Makes a big difference. Since I like extra length I had him put a spacer in as well. He just added them to the old pad. Can't see it all that well in this pic, but I can take another if needed.

That’s a Classic!

Something else to consider, since I hate messing with changing what the factory installed. For my 7 mag I use the PAST Mag plus recoil pad shield. It spreads the impact over a wider area and can be used with anything you shoot.

Looks like they use gorilla glue on them. They stay on good until they dont

you can also get a slip on decelerator pad

Good candidate for a brake.

I got one also. I think it's the size down from the plus
Works well. My 30br hasn't hurt me since.

To remove the old one and I assume you don’t care about damaging it put the rubber in a vise with the stock pointed up rock it side to side it will pop right off I’ve already done it

I'll try that.

Putting the stock in a deep freeze first has the pad pop right off with the first tap.
I don’t understand why all the HS stocks supplied to the likes Rem & Win have Pachmeyer pads, but there own do not?!

Cheers.

These work. They make a field and a magnum. (per 25 yrs ago, they may make more now)

Maybe Win and Rem specify Pachmayr pads.

Every one ive ever got had the exact same pad on them except they say remington or hs precision, theyre all pachmayr decelerator

Now who can argue with that logic.

I have one for my Model 70 375 Bee that definitely does not have a decelerator on it from HS. It looks and feels exactly like a Mike’s pad used on factory Win rifles of the 90’s. It is hard as a cats head...hence I took it off and glued a decelerator on there. Much nicer!

Cheers.
