Like Stan I prefer a pad, Slip on if the gun has nice wood and some value. Screwed on for most others. I need a bit longer LOP & can add a pad without cutting the stock. Curve to the butt stock causes no problems installing. Easy to go back to factory plastic.
It's got nothing to with recoil. Sticky pad facilitates correct mount and better 2nd shots. I like Pachmayr's 752 1 inch, same one as pictured above just a bit longer. Have a couple of Kick Eez, little too spongy for me. Switching them to Pachmayr's
