gowest Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 I ordered the Limbsaver recoil pad for my SBE II from Cabela's over the weekend. I'm really interested to see how it works. Quote
cut emnova Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 gowest, let me know what you think im thinking about purchasing one myself! Quote
mudhen Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Got one tonight - $32 at my shop. Went in fine. Put base in, tighten screws, it snugs right up. Don't know how many times the plastic base will like being taken in and out, but I will prolly just use it for turks and use the Gel-Pad for ducks. We'll see how it works. I've shot maybe 200 turkey rounds through this SBE II, so I'll know pretty quick if it has any effect. mudhen - CA Quote
gowest Posted March 28, 2006 Author Posted March 28, 2006 Mudhen, if you happen to test the pad, I would like to hear any comments. Quote
JLS Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I don't know what the "kick" difference is between your SBEs and my Nova h2o; but I put a Limbsaver on my gun and I'm very pleased with the reduction of recoil. Benelli didn't put much into the stock pad; I see no reason to put it back on. Quote
harrydog Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I have one on my M1 and it does reduce felt recoil somewhat. I can't easily compare it to the stock pad because I hadn't shot my M1 for a couple years prior to installing the limbsaver. Quote
Remy Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 harry, If you are speaking about the M1 Garand, I don't see a real need for a recoil reduction pad. Between the gas operation and the weight of the gun, I shoot an M1 all day without really being bothered from recoil. Quote

mudhen Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I tested the Limbsaver for the SBE II tonight. I think it feels the same as the Benelli Gel-Pad that came with the gun. If I had to describe it, I'd say the pressure feels more evenly distributed with the LS, but the felt recoil is about the same. Not a total waste of $32, but I would not buy one again... mudhen - CA Quote

I was considering getting one for my M2 but I think I will buy another flat of shells instead. Mike Quote
MattL Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Just tested out the SVL Limbsaver slip-on (medium)...SBE II w/steadygrip, rhino 0.660 choke...as we all know, original equipment pad is pretty stiff...the SVL made a considerable difference...could've shot 3 1/2's all day.... Quote
147 Grain Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Just put a Limbsaver 10402 on a new Nova pump and it does indeed make a difference. Quote
