Description
The Kick-EEZ KZ-104 is a pre-fit recoil pad built to take the sting out of your favorite rifle or shotgun. It fits a solid lineup of stocks, including the Ruger M77 Mark II Compact, Winchester Model 88, Remington Model 7, Sako 75 and A7, Tikka, and the Benelli M-1 Tactical 12 gauge. At 1-1/8 inches thick with the standard 3-1/8 inch screw hole spacing, it drops in as a clean upgrade over a worn or hard factory pad.
What sets Kick-EEZ apart from the pack is the Sorbothane. This is a proprietary polymer, not rubber, and it works by absorbing recoil energy and pushing it out the sides of the pad rather than sending it back into your shoulder. There are no air pockets or metal plates buried inside, which means more consistent feel shot after shot and a mount that stays put in the pocket every time. That consistency matters whether you are grinding through a long clays session or sitting behind a hard-kicking hunting rig.
Where the KZ-104 Earns Its Keep
Less felt recoil does more than save your shoulder. It cuts down on flinch, which is the quiet killer of good accuracy, and it keeps you comfortable across a full day at the range or in the field. Sorbothane also holds its shape and flexibility across a wide temperature range, so it performs the same on a cold morning stand as it does on a hot summer range day.
Fitting the KZ-104 to Your Stock
Installation on most wood stocks is about as simple as it gets: two screws out, two screws in. Because every pre-fit is made the same way as a grind-to-fit pad, you can sand the KZ-104 down for a flush, custom look if your stock runs a little different. Kick-EEZ recommends checking the printable template against your stock first to confirm the screw hole location and outline lines up before you order. Synthetic stocks may call for a gunsmith to get the holes and fit dialed in right.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms does the Kick-EEZ KZ-104 fit?
The KZ-104 is designed to fit the Ruger M77 Mark II Compact, Winchester Model 88, Remington Model 7, Sako 75 and A7, Tikka, and the Benelli M-1 Tactical 12 gauge. Stock dimensions can vary with age, temperature, and humidity, so it is smart to compare your stock against the printable Kick-EEZ template before ordering. That quick check confirms the outline and screw hole spacing line up with your gun.
How much recoil does the KZ-104 actually reduce?
Kick-EEZ pads are made from Sorbothane, a proprietary polymer that the company rates at reducing felt recoil up to 94 percent. Instead of punching straight back into your shoulder, the material absorbs that energy and channels it out the sides of the pad. Beyond comfort, the reduction in kick helps cut flinch, which usually tightens up your accuracy.
Is the Kick-EEZ KZ-104 hard to install?
On most wood stocks it is a quick job: back out the two existing screws, set the new pad in place, and screw it down. Because every pre-fit pad is built the same as a grind-to-fit, you can also sand it for a flush custom fit if your stock differs slightly. Synthetic stocks may need a gunsmith to nail the hole placement and final fit.
Is the KZ-104 made of rubber?
No, and that is the key difference. Kick-EEZ pads use Sorbothane, a synthetic polymer rather than standard rubber, with no internal air pockets or metal plates. That solid construction gives you a more consistent mount shot to shot and holds its shape and flexibility across hot and cold conditions.
