Ridgerunner;
A Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad is a very good one on taming recoil. Pachmayr makes pre-fit Decelerator pads for Remington 700 with the synthetic stock. Try www.brownells.com for a complete list of pads and price, or you can call them toll free at 1-800-741-0015. the pad is about 25.00 in cost. I have used this pad on numerous magnums without any complaints.
