Too much pitch will cause an increase in felt recoil, Stan.

I agree excessive pitch will, Ted, but so few guns have that much pitch that I guess I kinda "excused" it as a reason. Too little could, too, I think.

Drop, cast..............both are important but will mostly impact cheek recoil, IMO.

I had a coupla’ used guns come through at around 4” from the wall, when sitting flat on the butt. Shooting either was like a boot to the soul. Both have been corrected and remain in the flock today.
Uggy 12 and a first year model 12, if anyone is keeping score.
Too much drop is a bear, too. Cast going the wrong way doesn’t help, either.

Ted

Thanks to all for the insight!

I am new to all of this. I did not intend to replace it or cover it up, but was wondering about maybe a skelaton butt plate around it for long term durability. I'll leave it as is.

I won't have time to take it out and shoot it for a while, but will report on how it feels at that time.

From what I have read about proof pressures and this shotgun, I should stick to loads under 9000 psi, as mine was tested at 600bar- if I recall accurately.

Thanks again!

Unfortunately, the notification system isn't notifying me of messages being posted. Hmmm


Classic 'field' SxS's are what draw me in- that way I can have more than one!

I have one...it is a Webley and Scott 7 pin sidelock. It has a checkered butt on a very nice piece of Turkish walnut. I am getting ready to take it to South Da. next Monday. I have shot a few rounds of skeet with it and I do not find it uncomfortable to shoot.

I like rubber recoil pads for how they protect the butt, not always for recoil reduction. For dove shooting, none is needed and a couple of my dove guns have checkered butts. But, for ducks, in blinds and boats and flooded timber, I like a recoil pad. It protects the butt and helps keep it out of the inevitable 1/2" of water in the bottom of all pit blinds and duck boats. For serious clays work...............recoil pad. For quail ...............doesn't matter. For turkeys ..............no big deal either way.

Good to see you here, Jim.

I love checkered butts, or, checkered wood. Done right, they are truly beautiful. I have guns with pads, but, they were put there by others. They are useful, but, to me, less aesthetically pleasant.

Ted

Aesthetics vs function. Pity the man who loves the look of "all wood no pad/plate" butt and needs a rubber recoil pad.

Well, then you gotta’ do what you gotta’ do. Need a pad, use a pad.
