This recoil pad makes my Mosin Nagant a little more pleasant to shoot, not only dampening recoil, but adding a little bit of length to the stock. I highly recommend it for light range use, however, the pad is beginning to pull apart at the seam, so I wouldn't suggest this for any kind of heavy use.

I bought one of these for my 20 gauge Franchi 48-AL. For those who don't know, the 48-AL is the lightest semi-auto 20-gauge shotgun ever produced and it kicks like a mule. Before purchasing this recoil pad, a bruised shoulder was a given after only a few shots. I'm happy to report that this pad has successfully tamed the beast, even with the heavier loads I use for pheasant. I've only had it on for a few months, so I've yet to determine how well the neoprene-type material will hold up over time, but so far no problems. The spacer inserts included are a nice bonus and allow the shooter to adjust the length of pull slightly. It's a pretty ugly addition to my gun, unfortunately, but it works well and the price is right.

I liked this product so much that I ordered two more. It's really tamed my Mosin Nagants. I was going to try this on my 12 ga. Benelli Nova, but the pad wasn't quite large enough and I ended up with a limbsaver on that.

I also purchased the rubber recoil pad seen here: M44 Mosin Nagant Rubber Recoil Butt Pad and the gel pad is far more effective at reducing felt recoil. However, on a 91/59 the combination of the rubber recoil pad and the gel recoil pad is excellent.
