I have a Remington Model 32 that went through a Dennis Potter restoration in the early 70's and sports a "Jenkins" recoil pad. The 32 is very nicely choked for trap doubles (which I enjoy) but the pad is very uncomfortable to shoot. I didn't really analyze pads much until I shot this version. My Beretta EELL has an early Kickezz that is beat to s*** but works well. I like the period correct Hawkins pads but don't like the hardness and slipping around after the first shot. I rough up the surface or have pasted the nappy side of velcro to the pad. They don't compare to Kickezz though.
I got a Remington 1894 BEO trap gun from Doug Mann, it has a leather pad that is just right to shoot with...stays put and absorbs recoil. I bought several cases of Borngani 7/8 loads for my first shot on doubles with the old 94's, very soft and helps me get to the second target with a minimum of movement.
