I think the comparison of but plates on Walnut stocks and recoilbpads on Synthetic stocks of comparable production rifles is because the lighter synthetic s do recoil more for the came cartridge. I think there is a belief the timber also absorbs recoil to a degree.

I believe that somewhere here a few years ago Nathan wrote something about soft and squishy recoil pads on rifles. To the effect of saying they are not on military rifles maybe and they don't necessarily make you a better shooter. It's all relevant.

I have a couple of Tikka with Limbsaver pads. I've used older guns without them. I find over the bench that recoil is stout on .308 and up.

I have a Baikal 12ga, it hurts both ends. I can comfortably shoot a stack of clay target ammo. Through my cheapish ATA and not be concerned.

Threaded rifles are a Fad, or are they? Some countries allow suppressors with little restrictions so it's probably an easy step in the rifle production to run more through.

The Tacticool crow probably like their Brakes, I say near a braked .308 at the range. Give me a break!

Lattes and Man Buns should be reserved for Hipster cafes.

O think we will see an increase in brakes for those who think they are Cool.

I used a suppressed 7mmRM in South Africa, bit that's a thing there. Australia is far stricter on suppressors than South Africa or NZ.
Rumour has it they may become.approved for more public use but I'm not holding my breath.

Quality pads are a good choice for those who require them.
