Description
The Pachmayr 752B Old English recoil pad is one of those upgrades that looks right at home on a fine shotgun or classic rifle. This is the large size at a full 1.00 inch thick, with a black "leather-look" face and a solid black base with no white line. It carries the same internal setup as Pachmayr's Presentation pad, so you get smooth sides, rounded edges, and a skeletonized bottom core that helps cut down on what you feel at the shoulder.
What Sets the Old English Pad Apart
The Old English style has been a favorite for decades because it manages to be both good looking and functional. The skeet-style face and rounded edges make for quick, snag-free mounting, which is exactly what you want when you're swinging on a target or bringing the gun up in the field. That leather texture also helps the pad grab your shoulder and hold the gun in position, so your mount stays consistent shot after shot.
Fitting the 752B to Your Gun
This is a grind-to-fit pad, meaning it ships slightly oversized so it can be shaped to match the exact contours of your stock. The pad arrives with rubber covering the base plate, and that gets ground away to expose the clean black base as you fit it. If you're handy with a belt sander you can tackle it yourself, but plenty of folks hand this one to a gunsmith to get that factory-fit finish where the pad blends right into the wood.
Where the Large Pad Fits Best
At the large 1.00 inch profile, this one measures roughly 1.92 inches by 5.75 inches before fitting, giving you plenty of material to work with for taller or thicker stocks. It's a solid pick for upland, skeet, sporting clays, and rifle shooting where you want real recoil reduction without losing that traditional, understated look on a nice gun.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Pachmayr 752B Old English pad a grind-to-fit or pre-fit pad?
This is a grind-to-fit pad, so it comes intentionally oversized to be shaped to your specific stock. It arrives with rubber over the base plate, and that gets ground away to reveal the black base as you fit it. Many owners let a gunsmith do the final shaping for that seamless, factory-look finish.
Will this Old English recoil pad work on both shotguns and rifles?
Yes. Pachmayr designed the 752B for fine shotguns and classic-style rifles alike, and it's a popular choice for skeet, sporting clays, upland, and rifle shooting. Since it's ground to fit, it can be shaped to match a wide range of stock profiles.
What does the "leather face" mean on this pad?
The face has a leather-look texture rather than being real leather. That texture does more than look good, it helps grip your shoulder so the gun stays put during your mount. Combined with the solid black base and no white line, it keeps a clean, traditional appearance on nicer guns.
How thick is the large 1.00 inch version and who is it best for?
The large size runs a full 1.00 inch thick and measures roughly 1.92 by 5.75 inches before fitting. That extra material makes it a good match for taller or thicker stocks, or anyone wanting maximum recoil cushioning while keeping the classic Old English look.
