Do you find the supplied recoil pad adequate for 30-'06 level recoil. Or did you replace it with a squishier model. And if you did replace the pad, what did you replace it with; make, model, etc...
I have Boyd's stocks mounted on 308 and 30-06 rifles, and from a standing position the recoil pad is fine. From a bench, when you shoulder is not as free to roll with the recoil, the pad is lacking if you're going to send significant amounts of lead downrange (say, greater than 40 rounds). The standard Boyd's pad is also (like most pads these days) shaped with a pronounced toe. This works well to anchor the stock if shouldered 'just right' but if you tend to square up to the target or have to shoulder the rifle from an improvised position then the pronounced toe can really hurt.Do you find the supplied recoil pad adequate for 30-'06 level recoil.
