They are a bit heavy, but it's a classy looking pad.
That said, I use a PAST magnum recoil pad on my shoulder when bench shooting, so the recoil pad is somewhat redundant. I can tollerate much stiffer pads in the field.
The limbsavers seem very soft and they take the sting out of a heavy recoil...
But they also seem very sticky-rubbery. They tend to hang up on your jacket during a fast shouldering. And I wonder how they would hold up if you tend to beat the heck out of your rifle butt while out in the sticks...
