Pachmayr F250 Field Recoil Pad Medium 0.85 in

Description

The F250 is a thinner version of Pachmayr's F325 deluxe pad, maintaining the same proven recoil-absorbing qualities but in a more streamlined package. This makes it the go-to choice for rifles and lighter shotguns where a standard thick pad would look out of place or complicate sight picture. At 0.85 inches thick and measuring 5.35 inches long by 1.80 inches wide, this medium size gives you a compact mounting surface that works well on most standard rifle stocks.

Why Choose the F250 Field Pad

The black rubber base with white line edge makes a clean look on any stock, whether wood or synthetic. The checkered face gives you a secure grip against your shoulder, especially important in the field when conditions get wet or muddy. Unlike pre-fit pads, this is a grind-to-fit design, meaning you can customize it to match your specific stock contours. This flexibility lets you get a perfect seal and finish that looks factory-made.

Finishing Your F250 Installation

Grinding the pad requires a bench grinder or sander and some patience, but the payoff is worth it. You'll need to scribe fitting lines on the pad, then carefully grind away material until the pad sits flush with your stock edges. A gunsmith can handle this work if you prefer professional installation. Pachmayr supplies grinding templates online to guide your work and help avoid mistakes.

Field Performance and Durability

This pad handles light to moderate recoil well, making it ideal for 22 rimfire rifles, varmint rifles, and 20-gauge or smaller shotguns. The rubber construction provides consistent feel and doesn't harden up like some pads do over years of use. Its reduced thickness compared to the F325 keeps the overall rifle profile cleaner without sacrificing the comfort you need at the bench or in the field.
