Correct they are a 1000% improvement over a slip on pad.They spread the recoil,and slip on pads can have much more impact on accuracy. With a PAST I have never had accuracy problems,but with slip on butt pads I have.

hmmm I just ordered a pachmyer decelerator pad from cabelas. when I get it I may have to exchange for one of those instead. I would of bought one of those pads locally but haven't seen any.

I have used 3 of of the Sims screw on pads 1 of the Sims slip-on pads and 1 of the Pachmyer screw on, and never had them effect accuracy. Some of the screw on pads haven't fit the best but other than that never heard a negative commit from someone who used one.

I don't see where it would effect accuracy except change length of pull. But I'll take off the stock plastic butt plate to help take some of that out. I guess I'll see if it effects getting my cheekweld where I need to for the scope before I decide whether to stick with the pad or get the shoulder pad. Either way I can always put it on something else, lol. As long as it doesn't change my cheekweld too much, and helps me from killing my shoulder at the range or in prone position, I'm happy, lol.

I like the Sims Limbsaver. Just saw them at County Line Walmart (Greenwood) for $15.00.

I purchased a savage .308 with a glued on recoil pad that destroyed the synthetic stock.

I've got a Limb Saver on my .303 and it is wonderful!! And yes, the Limb Saver's at Wal-Mart marked Winchester are still a Limb Saver just different packaging. If you lood close on the package it still says Limb Saver.

Another +1 on the PAST pads. They're available in different thicknesses. Additionally, they go on YOU not the gun, so 1 pad can meet all your needs rather than having to buy a pad for each gun.

Plus you can wear it under your shirt so no one knows you're a wuss. Or, conversely, convince everyone you're a recoil eating He-mMan.

i am partial to pachmyer decelerators....

I usually go with limbsavers- but on something old-school- a leather lace-on would look better probably, and still cut down on the recoil.
