I replaced the original pad on my 1974 1100 Mag with a new Remington SuperCell pad. It's about 1/64th " narrow, but matches the top and bottom edges of the original pad. It certainly does take the sting out of those 3" turkey loads.

I have not found the wood stocks to be heavier than the synthetic in a lot of cases. With a 10 gauge BPS it was a paltry 1-1/2 ounces. But, that was before I lightened it.

 

I bought a pre-fit Limbsaver for a wood-stocked 870 so my wife could use it. I liked the Limbsaver so I peeled it off when the 870 got traded. Danged if it didn't fit my 11-87 too. I fired that one with slugs & 00 the other day and it's the softest kicking 12 I've ever used.

 

I bought the Remington Supercell pad as well and fired both. The Limbsaver pad did have more stick on the clothes when shouldering, but really like the grab it has when swinging the gun while firing three quick shots. It stayed in place. The SuperCell was easier on the clothes while shouldering but when swing the gun and firing fast, it had a tendency to move around on my shoulder under the fast 3 shot recoil. We were shooting at clays and the Limbsaver stayed on the shoulder better for me, especially for awkward aiming shots. For heavy 3in shells I found the Limbsaver was better. If you shoot one shell at a time or slow fire, I would prefer the SuperCell. I took the Supercell back to Cabelas. Both are fine recoil pads that significantly help reduce the recoil over the standard Remington brown pad.

 

My 1100 G3 came with a Limbsaver made for Remington. I shot with it for six years and it was a great pad. Most of my shooting was single shots with superhandicap shells in the game of Skrap. I replaced it when I noticed it was starting to get a little stiff (nothing like a real old pad, but not new) with a new SuperCell. Fit was perfect.

If people shot and old brown factory pad and one of the Limbsavers or the Remington SuperCells side by side the difference wood blow your mind.
