Description
When your stock does not match any pre-fit pad, whether it has been refinished, cut down, or came off an oddball rifle or shotgun, the LimbSaver Grind-To-Fit Speed Mount Pad is the fix. It ships as an oversized Medium/Plus blank that a gunsmith trims down on a belt grinder for a perfect, gap-free fit against the wood or synthetic. That flexibility is the whole point of a grind-to-fit design, and it opens up options no drop-in pad can touch.
The real magic is in the material. LimbSaver builds these out of their proprietary NAVCOM compound, short for Noise and Vibration Control Material, which absorbs a wide range of frequencies and dissipates recoil energy before it reaches your shoulder. The company rates it for up to 70% reduction in felt recoil, and it adds a layer of anti-muzzle-jump technology that helps settle the gun down faster for quicker follow-up shots. If you spend a long day at the bench with a hard-kicking magnum or run rounds through a heavy 12 gauge, the difference is easy to feel.
Where the Speed Mount Pad Earns Its Keep
The Speed Mount profile has a sloped face that helps the gun slide up into your shoulder cleanly, which sport and clays folks tend to appreciate on fast mounts. The surface is non-slip and built for all-weather use, so it stays planted whether you are in a downpour or the cold. This blank runs a 1-inch length of pull and measures 5-1/2" x 1-31/32" as delivered, grindable down to roughly 3-7/8" x 1-11/32".
Fitting Your Grind-To-Fit Pad
LimbSaver recommends having a professional shop grind and install these, and there is good reason for that. The NAVCOM rubber grinds soft and can gum up if it gets too hot, so the trick is going slow, keeping it cool, and lubricating the belt with WD-40 or equivalent. A common shop tip is to freeze the pad overnight and finish with progressively finer grit for a clean, blended edge. Take your time on the layout too, since once material is gone, it is gone. Done right, it looks factory and works even better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a belt grinder to fit this Grind-To-Fit pad?
Yes, this pad ships as an oversized blank that gets ground down to match your stock, and a belt grinder is the standard tool for the job. LimbSaver recommends having a professional shop handle the grinding and install, since the NAVCOM rubber can gum up if it heats up too fast. If you do it yourself, go slow, keep the pad cool, and lubricate the belt with WD-40.
How much recoil does the Speed Mount pad actually reduce?
LimbSaver rates the NAVCOM material at up to 70% reduction in felt recoil. It also incorporates anti-muzzle-jump technology to help the gun settle faster for follow-up shots. The exact feel depends on your firearm and load, but it makes a noticeable difference on hard-kicking rifles and shotguns.
Will this Medium/Plus pad fit my rifle or shotgun?
That is the strength of a grind-to-fit design. The Medium/Plus blank starts at 5-1/2" x 1-31/32" and grinds down to roughly 3-7/8" x 1-11/32", so it covers a wide range of stock profiles on both rifles and shotguns. It is a solid choice for refinished, cut-down, or oddball stocks that no pre-fit pad matches.
What is the length of pull on this pad?
This Speed Mount pad has a 1-inch length of pull, which adds about an inch to your stock once installed. Keep that in mind when sizing it to your build and shooting style. If you need a different amount of length, LimbSaver offers other thicknesses in the grind-to-fit lineup.
