I’m trying to find a suitable recoil pad for a Sauer 202 stutzen rifle in 9.3x62mm, the gun is a bit light for the caliber, 7 lb., and has a short barrel 51 cm. But I just loved the handle and feel of the gun and bought it.
I’ve been doing some bench shooting to try and find the best load for the gun and feel that the recoil, although not to heavy is sharp.
There are some old posts about recoil pads and some say that a pad too soft can be worst than a hard one.
The factory pad is hard rubber, I can’t compress it with my hand, and I was thinking about a Pachmayr decelerator pad.
I will need to change pads anyway because the LOP is too short for me.

Please let me know your opinions.
