I thought I ought to let everyone in on something that has recently worked out very well for me with my .350 Remington Magnum. I have discovered the answer to controling brutal recoil! I ordered a Kick-Eze 500 Series Magnum recoil pad from Brownells and installed it on the .350 before I ever shot it. It had been kicking the former owner so badly that he ordered a Past recoil pad just to use to sight it in with! The Kick-Eze reduced the recoil with factory 250 grain loads down to the felt recoil of about a lightly loaded 20 gauge auto!!! The pad is 1 3/8 inches thick and absorbs and delays recoil so that it is well spread out. You get a long, gentle push, but the jolting crunch from the recoil is now gone.

These are not real cheap at $39.95, retail price, but, it was worth every cent! Compared to other pads at $25.00 to $30.00 each, this is a BARGAIN ! Tell all your friends who may be troubled by recoil, to order and install one of these 500 Magnum pads. It is the best money I have ever spent with Brownells, and I do a lot of business with them. I realise that many of you out there don't like recoil pads because it spoils the looks or reduces the value of collector pieces, BUT, for anyone who has had shoulder damage, or who just can't take much recoil, this is the answer.

The hardest part of this whole project was getting the old pad off the Remington 673. The only other thing that takes some time is the grinding down of the new pad to fit the stock's outline. You have to go slow and not heat up the rubber pad too much, the rest is a snap. Bob H.
