I would like to replace the butt pad on my Mx8. What pads work the best for trap. Brand, shape, thickness etc. Thanks
Used kick- Ezz for years --Switched to Microcell, will never go back --Made in Italy by the Cervellati company -Which makes pads for Beretta - Perazzi -Blaser - and many other high end gun makers
Depends your your priorities. I've had several Kick-Eez and currently have several Limbsavers on my target and hunting shotguns. If you want a pad that will will look good for a long time, go Kick-Eez. If you want a pad that will absorb recoil the best, put on a Limbsaver, either Classic or the new Airtech. There's no comparison in those two categories.
I have been shooting for over 40 years, and do gun fitting work & install pads. Preference is a big part of it, but in those many years, I have used the kick-eez, and switched to using & installing the Terminator pad. It is longer lasting & softer.
I don't even know if they make em anymore but I had a Super Gooey put on my doubles gun years ago and it sure took the bite out of shooting that gun.
I've gone between Kick-ezz rockers & Kicke-ezz modified trap & Gooey pads Gooey for comfort, Kick-ezz modified trap for consistent mount--but I'm short & used to have chest muscles, lost 20 lbs and everything is up in the air, these days may go with micro-cell
