I recently bought a Merkel 147E 16ga. Its my second SxS, the other being a CSMC RBL 20 ga.
Neither of these come from factory with a rubber recoil pad. They have hard plastic butt plates. Most of the O/U guns I own or have owned have some sort of rubber recoil pad.
Any reason not to replace the plastic butt plate with a rubber pad?
Thanks
