Aftermarket Recoil Pads for the Tikka T3?

[Zachary]

Zachary, you have so many guns you could probably buy one of each and have something they would fit on lol.

Yea, well, you're kinda right.   In fact, my dad hasn't shot his .30-06 for over 12 years now, and for many reasons.  First, the steel plate caused him to fall off of his but when he shot.  Second, with my having so many guns, he picks the ones that are either smaller in cartridge (he loves my 7mm-08s) or he uses my rifles that have muzzle brakes.  Third, his old scope was an old weaver that you can barely see through on a bright sunny day at the beach, much less low light conditions in the field.  So he uses my Nikon Monarchs, Elite 4200s, and most of them with the 50mm objectives and Illuminated reticles.  

The bad news is that I have a lot of guns that I purchased NIB and I haven't even fired them yet.  Heck, some are still without scopes.

Someone told me that I'm not a gun collector, but rather a gun ACCUMULATOR.

I know the feeling, heck, we'll get around to buyin a scope some day!

Just wanted to say that I finally received the 10112 recoil pad yesterday and tried it on the T3.  It turns out that it fits okay, but not that great - at least on my gun.  I'm gonna give it a try on my other Tikka - a synthetic stocked WH (Whitail Hunter and see how it fits) since the butt of the stock may be different than the T3.  If that doesn't look right, then I'll just go ahead and mount it on my dad's wood stocked BDL.

Zachary-

Thanks for the update.  Will let you know when I hear more on this 'new' and 'better' pad  :wink:  How much bigger is the pad than the butt stock?
