The red recoil pad I have from H&R of years gone by has very little give, so I put it on the hornet stock, but if I was going to shoot it on anything with much recoil at all I would order a different stock (or pad), the recoil pad I have is hard as a rock and is VERY slippery, it moves around very easy on the shoulder and even slips when squeezing the trigger. So unless it is for a shotgun with mild recoil I would think twice. Unless mine is the only one like that, sorry if the rest of you have nice soft grippy pads, but mine is sure none of those things.

just re-read original post, oops sounds like you know you don't want the red recoil pad already. Sorry about that.
