This one actually has a 1-3/8" thick "Kick-Eez®" Recoil Pad. Based on quality of fit, I believe it was factory installed. Although not aesthetically pleasing, with the 40 pounds of recoil I felt, it was appreciated. And, with the potential of 60 pounds of recoil with full loads, it will be "really" appreciated.
