Helpful thanks. The Custom Shop in Montana here in the US sells the red pads for about $125 and will put it on expertly for $250 pad included. I am debating spending that.
Thank you Paulson that is very helpful. This one is a 222 Coltsman Deluxe; original and apparently never fired. I suppose it is worth keeping it "original" and not doing anything with the weak looking ~57 year old pad. It is a bit annoying as a pad is not needed on the little 222, and it makes me hesitate to store it on the butt. I prefer the old L46 which has no pad at all. I will definitely check out the Pachmeyer if I take this on. It seems you are a gunsmith - are you in the USA?If there is nothing wrong with your factory pad, it would behove you to just leave it alone. I have installed the Sako Pads that the Custom Shop sells for multiple customers & they are a poor quality pad with no metal skeleton in the black plastic plate. The waffled section isn't all that soft & doesn't appear very durable to me. You will be spending quite a bit of money for very little benefit, if any. In the field hunting you are not going to notice the recoil much & when shooting from the bench, just use one of the shoulder pads like PAST makes. If you insist on or need a different pad, get a quality pad like a Pachmeyer(who makes one that looks exactly like the faux "Sako" pad) or Limb Saver & save yourself $$$$ compared to the so called "Sako" pad. Just my two cents.

Well that is special - Maybe we will cross paths some time. If you have an actual gunsmith shop I would be glad to have the name of it/contact info.Iowa! Right in the middle of the USA.
