Shotgun recoil pads

[Viper22]

I'm looking to replace the factory recoil pad on my Sears 200 (Winchester 1200) 20 gauge shotgun. I've found a few replacements, from different companies. Does anyone have a recoil pad to recommend? What works/what doesn't?

Thanks.


EDIT to add: I've found Pachmayr and Hogue make pre-fit recoil pads for the 1200/1300. Pachmayr only comes in black, hogue comes in black or brown. I'd like to go with brown, but I don't know if the Hogue would be better than the Pachmayr.

I have used both.....pre fit is good. Unless you have a decent belt sander some patience. It took me about 12 or so attempts to get a really good finish on grinding down the universal pads.

Both of those companys are real good. The pre fits are good, you may have to do alittle sanding but they should be close.

Sims/Limbsaver. Give them a call. They sometimes dont list all the pads avail..

For period correct stuff (if you're into that) go over to shotgunworld.com and snoop around - there's a few makers doing new stuff to match the old.

Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturers may be one of them IIRC

Thanks for the tip. The shotgun does have the original red ventilated recoil pad. I saw some at Conneticut Shotgun that looked close. Nothing in the red ventilated that was close to the size I need though.
