.375 H&H Whitworth replacement recoil pad

I have a Whitworth .375 H&H. The factory recoil pad is hard as a rock. Combine that with the light weight of the rifle and it is a bruiser to fire. I have looked and cannot find a pre-fit aftermarket recoil pad by Limbsaver, Kick-eez, or Pachmayr to help with the recoil. I would rather not use a grind to fit if I didn't have to. If anyone could direct me to a retail site where I could buy a quality recoil pad I would certainly appreciate it.

Do it right and have a gunsmith fit one of the new high tech pads on it if you don't want to do the "grind to fit" yourself. The new pads really work well. You'll be glad you did.

I plead ignorant jmr40. What new type recoil pad are you talking about? I'll spend a little extra for a nice looking effective recoil pad.

Pachmeyer decelerator gel pad made recoil on my 300 H&H unnoticeable. I could fire 30 rnds and never feel it.
