A full one inch extension is going to be a problem with any type of leather pad, IMO. That's asking a lot from a slip-on pad, of any type. I'm not saying it can't be accomplished like mentioned earlier, but it's just not going to be as "solid" as you'd want, I wouldn't think. I can envision problems with it staying in line with the butt, and not moving around as you mount it.

If I were really wanting to increase the LOP by a full inch I would be looking at Silvers pads, or other brands, then possibly a 1/2" leather lace-on on top of that. JMO.

Good luck, SRH

Owen,

The Tourbon pad adds a full one inch to the LOP.

Buy one, you won�t be sorry. I use a dozen of them on several different 14� stocks. Easy on and off, no Velcro to snag your clothing and no ugly laces.

That's good information. I never saw a Tourbon, but had no idea one could add 1". I stand corrected. I need one for my I. Hollis.

Thanks, SxS 40.

P.S. Went to a site and looked at them. Are you certain that it increases LOP by a full inch? It is made the same way as a KickKiller, as far as the "cap" on the butt goes. It appears that an inch of increase would put the toe of the stock up into the elastic, by looking at the pics here. Another pic seems to show the same Akton material inside as the KK pad.

The second pic wouldn't link, but maybe you can copy and paste it. It shows a 10 cm scale standing alongside the pad, indicating that 2 1/2 cm, or 1" would be well up into the elastic.

I think for an investment of under $20, you should try one. I think my tap measure is somewhat accurate. They do make two sizes, medium and large.

If I wasn�t so computer challenged, I would post a picture.

I'm afraid I am confused now. Under $20...... are you talking about the rubber one or the leather one? They make both.

When I looked on Ebay those under $20.00 were all in China, had to be shipped from there. They were higher if you bought through a US importer, though there were some less than Amazon's price of $40.00.

Guys,

Free shipping from China, you have it in about a week. Some of the listings on Ebay have a "make an offer" the cost should be under $20. I have purchased and use several of these. Yes, they are leather. Brown actually, with orange stitching. I think they look better (less obtrusive) than Galazan's or any others I have seen.

Thanks. I will likely order a couple. I understand about the shipping from China. I once ordered a cell phone battery on ebay. When it arrived it was in a manila envelope postmarked in China. Total cost was $3.40..........shipping and all. Unbelievable.

SRH

I would order directly from China the world leader of the near future. That is exactly what globalist like me would do. There is no shame for doing it.

Where I order from will have nothing to do with your recommendation, I assure you.

Who said anything about shame in ordering from China?................besides you?
