Brianxt Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I bought a sims recoil pad for my 835 and I was blowed away at how much it helped the recoil of my gun .The 3 1/2 felt like a 2 3/4 turkey load I just wish I had got it earlier saved alot of pain.

Guest paintbrush Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Re: recoil pad for turkey guns Put a Sims on my Encore .12 ga last spring.Got a black and blue shoulder after firing 6 test patterns with the regular supplied pad.The Sims made a world of differnce in felt recoil after I installed it.

Covehnter Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Re: recoil pad for turkey guns It made shooting my 870 SM almost bareable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor_Guy Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Re: recoil pad for turkey guns When I bought the 835, Sims did not have a pad made for it. Do they now, or do you have to fit one to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Re: recoil pad for turkey guns I'm glad the sims pad worked so well for you all. I put one on my 870 a few years back...I can honestly say I didn't notice much difference in "felt" recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a little liquid soap on the screwdriver to get the screwdriver in and out of the rubber pad! This way you wont tear the material.

Hoyt03 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Re: recoil pad for turkey guns When using my 835 for turkey usually it's one and done so I never really feel the kick. When on the range though some kind of pad is a must. I can imagine hunting ducks one would be awesome as well. How difficult are they to install on the 835?

[/ QUOTE ] If you buy the one designed for the 835, two screws out, two screws back in, DONE! Like I said though, use a little liquid soap on the screwdriver shaft in and out to avoid any tearing while removing or installing the screws. http://www.simsvibrationlab.com/Products/Firearms/Precision_Fit_Recoil_Pad.aspx 10201 is the model number you want for the 835, its the Precision Fit Recoil Pad.

Brianxt Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Re: recoil pad for turkey guns The one I bought was made to fit the 835 so it fit perfect.They come with a adapter plate some models the screw holes don't line up but it was easy to put on and it looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKYhunter Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Re: recoil pad for turkey guns Sims pads are awesome! I've got one on an Encore and had one on a Browning .300 wsm. They work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Re: recoil pad for turkey guns Put a sims on my winchester 1300, really would have liked to have had a pachmayer, but they are not made to fit that application. The sims limbsaver pad is better than the factory pad. The decelerator is a much better pad in my honest opinion though and if they had them for the 1300 that is what would have went on mine.

[/ QUOTE ] Next time use magnum turkey loads with an XXX full turkey shoke while shooting trap with your 10ga I put one on my 870 years ago and then bought them for all my hard kicking guns, they are awesome.
