[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 1272520, member: 2580"] Back in the day, we used flat rubber pads on bolt action match rifles. No recoil pads, even on magnum any-any rifles. The belief was that thick recoil pads could compress unpredictably under recoil, and shift the point of impact. I used 1/4" thick Roy Dunlap solid rubber pads on .308, 30-06, 7mm Rem mag, and a 30-338 magnum. Never tested the theory about p.o.i. shift, so don't know if it occurred or not. If you can shoot the rifle prone or on the bench without flinching, I would stay with a solid rubber buttplate. The .338 Lapua is a fine cartridge! Tom [/QUOTE]
