Best recoil pad and muzzle brake for 300 Weatherby Mag?
I just picked up a new 300 Weatherby Magnum yesterday and am wanting to change out the stock recoil pad right away, as well put on a possible muzzle brake, and just wanting to know the 2 best ones to get?

Throw a limbsaver on there and forget about the muzzle brake!

Save your hearing and skip the brake, go with a limbsaver, or a decellerator.

If you get a muzzle break make sure it's a thread on. I've got one, original owner thought it was a good idea but at least it had threads. Now it sports a cap.

It seems to be a toss up between the limbsaver and the decelerator recoil pads. Is it just cause 1 guy bought the one and the other guy the other? No pro's or con's on the 2?

I've owned both and quite frankly the limbs aver is a piece of crap. It looks bad, feels bad, wears bad, and shoulders bad.

The decelerator is by far the better pad.

I know who that was I think
That rifle came the way it was with the KDF....Dad never bothered to have it removed, I hated shooting near him

I disliked the puff of gas hitting my face, the kdf ended up as a paper weight. It is going to get removed at some point down the road. Nice rifle otherwise.
