    Currently I have a Browning Citori featherweight with an English stock. However there is no reoil pad, just the piece of plastic, And shooting it for doves or clays is a real pain. actual pain. I have tried it as well as several friends on clays and we all agree that this is not the gun to shoot without some extra protection.. For pheasants or other birds it is not so bad as you only shoot once in a while. So my dilemma, put on an after market recoil pad or buy a newer shotgun? The problem is to add the recoil pad requires lopping off part of the stock and potentially chipping the finish. Or buy a new gun. Now since I am a bit on the cheep side, a new gun will run me $1600+ and a recoil pad is about $50. So do i cut or not cut? opinions please.
    Leave the gun alone. Buy a shoulder protector. My buddies call it my “Manzeer”. Mine is gel filled and I can shoot 3” full boat loads all day long and sleep well, unbruised, all night long.

    Well I did it. Bought a kickEze pad sized to fit. Not a perfect fit. Used a heat gun to mold the pad marked off screw holes it works, added about 3/4 inch to overall length. Not a perfect fit but will work for my purpose. Will try it out this weekend

    I'm quite late to this party since I just joined TGT yesterday, but for what it's worth.........having had a right total shoulder joint replacement and being recoil sensitive I tried most of the major brands. The best for me was the the Limbsaver Airtech. I put them on all my shotguns and my shoulder is all the more happier for it.

    Personally, I would have restocked it with a custom fitted stock. Cost only as much as the original gun!!!

    I never liked English straight stocks. But in the gun clubs/shops there, they rarely sold a factory stock. Fitting was considered to be the most important part of being able to shoot a shotgun well.

    That said, I always had to add length to my shotguns. It seems factory stocks are made for small Japanese or Italians. lol
