How to change recoil pad on a Bell and Carlson stock to Limbsaver

[@RealBlueGene]

The factory recoil pads on HS precision stocks really suck, been trying to figure out a way to get the pad off without damaging the stock. Thanks for the video.

Thanks!!!! Glue????? why would they do that!!!!! I was going to paint my stock lastnight. Tried to remove the butpad......NOT happening!!! I guess I'll just mask it off. Why they would glue it on makes no sense to me. Thanks for the vid!!

[@johncooperoutdoors]

it's glued REALLY well too...

What model # recoil pad did you use?

[@johncooperoutdoors]

I used #10601 (amzn.to/2y2YIvG) I would print out the template guide and check your stock specifically. I have bell and carlson alaskan stocks for remington 700 long actions.

It's so stupid that they glue these on, and mine appears to have been painted after it was installed. I want to take mine off to put a pound or two of Devcon 10110 in that cavity. Looks like I can't do that without also destroying the butt pad and risking the paint.

[@johncooperoutdoors]

You will most likely destroy the existing pad. i did. and as you see I also took a chip out of the fiberglass stock as well with the chisel that I had to fill with epoxy. I should've added a couple of pounds as well, that .338 RUM kicks like a mule! I like the limbsaver pads better though, so it was worth the struggle to get a little better recoil padding.

[@grantstewart5453]

.338 RUM definitely could use the weight, and a brake! Mine would be for a 7mm Rem Mag that I am getting a brake on. I contacted B&C just now, maybe they can remove it for me since they are near me, then I could fill it and reinstall it.

[@johncooperoutdoors]

Yeah, i should brake it...but I'd rather take a shoulder beating than an ear beating. 250gr accubond at 3,050 fps kicks at both ends! Hopefully BC will take care of you. good luck!

How come so many dislikes? Pretty good job to me.
