Pachmayr F250 Lightweight Recoil Pad Medium Brown/White

Description

When you're building a rifle or upgrading a 20-gauge shotgun, pad bulk matters. The F250 gives you genuine recoil reduction at just 0.85 inches thick, so you get comfort without the heft of a standard hunting pad. It's built from quality rubber and finished with a line-checkered surface that grips your shoulder and prevents slipping during aiming and follow-up shots.

What Makes the F250 Lightweight Design Work

This pad was engineered as a thinner take on Pachmayr's proven Deluxe F325 design. For light to moderate recoil applications, that thinner profile is an advantage. It sits better on sleek wood stocks and doesn't overpower the lines of a nice rifle build. The brown color with white line base blends especially well on traditional wood furniture, while still providing a practical, easy-to-see reference line on the stock.

F250 Pad Installation and Setup

These are grind-to-fit pads, meaning they require shaping to match your specific stock contours. Most owners work with a bench grinder or file to custom-fit the heel and toe to their rifle or shotgun. It's a straightforward process if you have grinding equipment and basic gunsmithing skills. A good gunsmith can have it fitted and installed in short order if you'd prefer professional setup.

Typical Uses and Best Applications

The F250 shines on .22 rimfire rifles, varmint rifles, and 20-gauge shotguns. Reviewers consistently note that it looks far better on rifles than standard 1-inch trap pads and works perfectly for shooters who don't need heavy magnum-level recoil management. The checkered finish is durable and designed to stand up to season after season of field use.
