I haven't used him in years but Steve Downs does good work. He used to be in Sterling IL, 815 718 2861
It won't be $85 though

It won't be $85 though I did some looking online and it seems like he may not be active anymore, perhaps he's retired? Has anyone had pads installed by JJ Perodeau? He seems well regarded in the double rifle circles, not sure about his reputation on the shotgun side of things.

A recoil pad is a recoil pad whether it’s on a shotgun or a rifle. Don’t overthink this thing.

He is certainly capable, but for putting a rubber pad on a shotgun, it's sort of like hunting sparrows with an 8 bore.

Is Mr. Nitrah implying that $85 is higher or lower than Steve Downs would charge?

No way anyone would do a leather covered pad for $85.

Someone put together a step by step video of the process not so long ago. I'm thinking it may have been Cole's shop, but could be mistaken about that. He did excellent work, it seemed to me. The finished product looked very, very nice.
Can anyone else remember that video, and exactly who it was?
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Yes it was Cole's. I posted it with several others. It can be done well by anyone willing to make the jig, or buy it, and having a good belt or disk sander.

Silly me. I thought we were discussing a hard red pad.
