Hi Larry, I can't remember the stock pad that came with it-- it might be Mossberg's and I'm too lazy to get up and check, but the guy at the gun store talked me out of buying a pachy because he said the one on there is about as good. I think the real problem is that I'm five foot nothing. A 12 gauge (as you know) is more than you need for upland game, but I went with the 12 instead of a 20 or .410 because I'm in grizzly country. I cross their tracks all the time and so every third round is a slug. And if I'm lucky enough to be able to take a second shot (no shots have yet been necessary-- keeping my fingers crossed) I keep more slugs in my pocket.
But when you're aiming at something you hope to eat later for supper, for some reason you just don't mind the recoil, even if it's excessive, such as it is in my case. With that in mind, I never take my 12 gauge out for plinking purposes-- that's what my .22 rifles are for.
