Recoil pad fit.
Searching for a new recoil pad to replace the hard butt plate on my Interarms mark x 7mm Remington Mag.
Does anyone here have advice on a pad that fits reasonably well? Mine has the hardwood Monte Carlo Stock. Thanks

I've never been able to find any recoil pad that is an exact fit for a gun. They all need some fitting to get it right. They might be close, but no cigar. If you go on line and look it up, they'll tell you how to get a "close" fit for your gun by measuring the distance between the holes on the back, the width, and the height of the pad you have now. You then select the pad you want and have an experienced gunsmith fit it to your gun. They put it on, trace around the butt stock, and then take it off and grind it to fit on a fixture. Go visit Brownell's web site and look at all the offerings and rating for different pads. You don't have to buy from them (but they're a good place if you do) and see what's available.

I was thinking about this more last night. The length of pull of this rifle is a little short for me right now. Maybe I can get a slip on pad for it

The Interarms Mark X's are the same thing as a Zastava Mauser. Just a commercial Mauser, so anything made for that should fit.
It is much better to buy a grind to fit though. Assuming you have or have access to a bench sander. Works way better than actually grinding the thing. Masking tape on the stock and eye protection.
