This recoil reducing stock is a lot more expensive than a recoil pad, but it does work as advertised

It makes shooting slugs pretty much painless in my 870 Remington.

You've basically got three choices - have a traditional recoil pad installed by a gunsmith, use a slipover style pad, or install a prefitted pad yourself. The first option will involve a bit more expense, but has the advantage that the smith can cut the stock to compensate for the thickness of the pad and thereby not change the length of pull, something that's (arguably) of less concern for a slug gun than it is for wingshooting. That type of installation would obviously be permanent, which is not necessarily a problem as many shotguns come from the factory with installed recoil pads.
The latter two options are do-it-yourself, and cheaper. A slipover pad can be installed and removed easily, works fine, but will increase length of pull and looks like crap when installed (if you care). The prefit pad can easily be installed and removed with a screwdriver, looks pretty much like a factory or smith-installed pad, but will also increase the length of pull.
Pachmayr (http://www.lymanproducts.com/pachmayr/) is more-or-less the industry standard and makes all three types. Sorbothane (http://www.sorbothane.com/) is supposedly a more effective higher-tech option. And there are others.
ETA: Also consider: depending on how the gun fits you now, increasing the length of pull may actually be an advantage.
