Looking for a Fixed AR Stock with a good recoil pad

[USAF Ret]

I know that ARs usually have hard buttpads on the stock for durability. But when shooting heavier calibers, it is nice to have some cushion. Does anyone know of a good fixed AR stock with a generous and comfortable buttpad? I have some on carbine stocks, but I want to go to a fixed stock. Thanks.

UBR2 is my favorite. Adds a bunch of weight but since it's in the rear, it counterintuitively actually balances better and makes the gun feel a lot snappier.

Looks like it has the hard recoil pad, though.

Magpul has fixed AR stocks and a thicker buttpad that you can order for 15 bucks.

Yeah, those are still pretty hard. I have a PRS with a Kick Eez on it. I am thinking I may stay with that, even though it is heavier than I want. I have looked at all the replacement buttpads from aftermarket manufacturers. They support most carbine stocks, but not fixed stocks.

I believe Backfire *may* make fully custom pads, down to the caliber weight and everything.

Here's a link to some Sims recoil pads. I'd call them and discuss your shoulder injury with them and see what they can suggest.

What are you shooting out of an AR that has enough recoil to warrant custom padding?

I know my 458socom could sure use a recoil pad..
