Which model R.A.D. recoil system/Pad for F-Class Open stock?

[OregonDistance]

Looking to hear your first-hand experience with different R.A.D. recoil systems, and which pad you paired them with, especially for F-Class Open stocks.

For example, I see that there are R.A.D. 1a, 2a and Big Bore models. http://www.hartshooting.com/index.html

Any input appreciated.

Hello Steve...I use the "Ken Rucker's Auto-Buster Recoil Reduction System" (Brownells item #100-004-743AQ) with a 1-inch Kick-eez pad on a couple of FO 7mm RSAUM's. They come with 3 grades of tension springs. That is all I have used. The system is probably quite redundant to the Kick-eez pad??

I have a R.A.D on my .280 AI for F-Class. I'm not sure off hand which model, but the recoil reduction is good. However the movement is substantial, and your rear bag can walk around on you. You may want a very heavy, substantial rear bag (or one with spikes).

Good suggestion on the rear bag, @Catfur, thanks.

I use the 2a. I've never experienced any movement of the rear bag

Thanks, @whysman. I'm hearing 2a in PMs as well.

I had a 2A installed. Are you planning on having David Hart install it?

I talked to him a few days ago. He's extremely busy.

Any good gunsmith can install it.
