Commemorative Wood
Being a Savage Model 99 fan, I sought out and found a NIB 75th Anniversary model 1895 that I bought a few years ago. I didn’t intend to keep it NIB and quickly mounted a decent little Nikon Scope onto it with a one-piece Leupold Mount. The rifle has a brass butt stock with a deep radius to it. It’s in .308 and so this rifle will bruise me pretty good after a box of rounds. I decided to put a slip-on rubber shoulder pad onto it, having cut a piece of dense foam to fill in the radius between the brass and rubber slip on shoulder pad.
My question is, do you think the rubber will somehow leach the stain out of the wood after a while where the silhouette of the slip on rubber shoulder pad will be obvious in 20 years? It will mostly be in the dark safe except the couple of times I shoot it a year. |

I'm definitely in favor of slip-on recoil pads. I just leave them on my Winchester and have had no problems doing so. But, if you are worried about it, slip it off when you put your rifle away. Easy on; easy off.

Hmm... Do you guys think a leather one would let the oil leach out?

Thanks for the clarification, Scorch. My "assumption" was based on the op's description of the butt on his rifle, which he said had a deep radius to it. I never bothered to research my Savage catalogs for verification.

Yes, "crescent" is the word I couldn't find when I made the post. My machinist background kicked in.
