Pachmayer XLT is the SOFTEST and more durable than the limbsaver. A recoil vest or shield like the PAST is also good for spreading recoil over a larger area.
When you shoot prone if the gun is very low overall the recoil can come back on your collar bone more than the fleshy front part of the shoulder and it hurts way more. You could try raisng the gun up at the bipod and the butt and placing a pad of some kind under your chest . This may get the recoil pad more on the front of the shoulder . Also you may be letting the gun jump at your shoulder . A firm grip is better than a loose grip to reduce felt recoil.
That's odd. I have one on my300 Rum which rode in the truck all summer last year and never had a problem like that, and it was damned hot in N. Texas last summer!As for the limbs saver if you live anywhere with heat forget them, junk. One literally melted to the point of dripping in my truck and one in safe deformed at 87 degrees. What a junk product. You at also try mercury if you dont want to go the break route.
**** buddy! Sounds like you need some superglue, locktite and duct tape!The butt is in the shoulder pocket not on the coller bone, I'm going to look into a but pad.
And I'm putting medium to light pressure on the but pad.
It'll be about 4 weeks before I will shoot it again because I'm having to send it back to Savage because the stock screws keep comming loose the magizine falls out when I shoot it and getting light primer strikes also after 30 rounds the scope rail came loose. So far a little over 100 rounds fired.
I think I got a lemon.
Also going to get a better brake.
Thanks

Recoil comes from two different sources.Is there a magic combo or just the force of a certain weight projectile pushed to a certain speed until the end of the barrel=recoil
The XLT is not a pad made for magnum rifle shooting. It is designed for trap shooters who of course shoot many, many more times the number of rounds any of us would with our LR Rifles in the course of a day, but they are shooting very low recoiling loads to begin with.Pachmayer XLT is the SOFTEST and more durable than the limbsaver.
