The Pachmayr F325 Field 325 Deluxe Recoil Pad is a medium-sized recoil-reducing butt-pad for shotguns and rifles. Made from durable rubber with a classic brown finish and a textured face, this pad helps absorb felt recoil and provides a more comfortable shoulder contact point during shooting sessions. It’s a popular upgrade or replacement part for hunters and range shooters looking to reduce shoulder strain and improve shooting comfort.

Performance & Practical Use

The F325 Deluxe recoil pad enhances shooting comfort by absorbing and dampening recoil forces that transmit to your shoulder during firing — especially beneficial when using heavier loads or during extended range sessions. The stippled face helps keep the pad from shifting on your shoulder, which can improve consistency from shot to shot.

Because recoil pads aren’t universally shaped for all stocks, many users “grind to fit” this pad so that the contour matches the specific firearm’s stock profile. This approach ensures a snug, flush fit that retains the pad securely and maximizes comfort and effectiveness.

Best Suited For

✔ Hunters and field shooters who want more comfort with heavy-recoil loads
✔ Owners of rifles or shotguns needing a replacement recoil pad
✔ Shooters who perform longer range sessions and want to reduce shoulder fatigue
✔ Those who prefer classic brown-finish recoil pads with a textured, non-slip surface

User Tips

Fit to Your Stock:
Before installation, trace the stock’s outline and carefully grind or trim the pad to match your firearm’s contours — this helps ensure a flush fit and easier mounting.

Check Attachment Points:
Once trimmed, align the pad carefully with pre-drilled screw holes (if applicable), and secure using appropriate stock screws or adhesives for your firearm type.

Maintenance:
Rubber recoil pads can pick up dirt or debris from shooting sessions — wipe down with a damp cloth to keep them clean and maintain grip quality.
