My Rossi Shotgun..?

Question

Hi i have a big problem with finding a recoil pad for my youth model Rossi 20 gauge. It does for an absolute fact kick harder than any 12 gauge i have ever shot. Yes the 20 gauge is a single shot breakdown and that explains why it has so much pep to it. right now i shoot 20 gauge2 3/4 Express long rang shells but i don't really want to switch my shotgun shell because they have just the amount of power i need and not to mention the good quaility.

But plaese i need help finding a recoil pad and i'll take answers from any one even if u know u might be or u are wrong

A good alternative to a recoil pad is a mercury recoil reducer, it fits in the stock bolt hole and does not show. The last one that I fitted for a lady was made by C-H. There are several makers, follow the instructions that come with it to fit, they work out cheaper than a recoil pad, as a one inch thick recoil pad needs one inch cut off of the stock first.

LImbsaver. if you dont want the slip on go to their website and find the grind to fit size and take it to your local gunsmith.
Pachmeyer Decelerator is also good. I put the Limbsaver on my kids mossberg 20 and it does a good job of taming the recoil. It is a little longer than the Pachmeyer. I put the Pachmeyer on my Yildiz 20. It kicked the crap out of me before. Now i can barely feel the recoil. It looks nice too.

Answer 5

You can find a slip on recoil pad anywhere, even Wal-mart. Thats the "quick and dirty" way, short of having recoil reducers installed ($$$) - I wouldn't make the investment of putting Mercury reducers in a old gun you're going to outgrow anyway, its not worth it. Just go with the > $10 slip-on pad.

However I must ask, what on earth are you shooting with the Remington Express "Long Range" shells SO MUCH that you need a recoil pad? Those are game loads for hunting live birds.. If you're hunting, sure you need enough power to kill the game, however I just haven't heard of someone hunting so many birds that a recoil pad was such a dire need. Many upland game birds can be taken with a simple load of 5's or 6's, rather than those magnum shells you're shooting now.

If you're shooting clays, FORGET the "Express Long Range" shells. For clays all you should be shooting (in 20 gauge) is a 2 and 1/2 dram load or thereabouts, with 7 1/2 or 8 shot. You don't need the "powder" [recoil] in the game loads for clays, and the the Express loads are not of any better quality. They all come from the same factory, and most "target" loads (STS, Gun Club) are better quality (shot, wad) than the hunting loads. "Bigger" is NOT better. The overall majority of clay targets are shot with 2 3/4 or 3 dram 12gauge loads, some handicap trap loads are in the 3 1/4 dram range. You don't need to "kill" a clay target, only break it.

Answer 6

you can get a simple slip on pad from places like cabela's, gander mountain, the sportsmans warehouse or sporting goods stores. Or, you can get a better pad installed by most gunsmiths. installing a new pad isn't as easy as you'd think.
Good luck.

He asked for a full choke barrel. Not a removable full choke.
