Blaser Rubber Recoil Pad Old English – 17 mm

• 17 mm recoil pad: adds a practical layer of cushioning at the rear of the stock, helping to soften felt recoil and make repeated shots more comfortable in the field or on the range.
• Made for Blaser R8 wooden stocks: this pad is intended for the classic stock profile used on the R8 with wood furniture, so it suits owners who want a factory-matched replacement or fit update.
• Rubber construction: the material gives secure shoulder contact and helps keep the rifle planted during mounting, which is useful when shooting from hunting positions in wet or cold conditions.
• Factory-style accessory: as part of the Blaser accessory range, it follows the same design language as the rifle and preserves the clean handling characteristics expected from a premium hunting rifle setup.
• Made in Germany: the pad reflects the same emphasis on fit, finish and practical field use that defines Blaser hunting equipment and accessories.

About the Blaser Accessories Series

Blaser Accessories brings together the small but important components that adapt a rifle or optic to the way it is actually used in the field. Within the wider Blaser range, this series covers practical add-ons such as mounting hardware, flip covers for riflescopes and other purpose-built parts that support hunting use rather than changing the core design of the firearm. The idea behind the series is straightforward: keep the handling and visual consistency of the original platform while adding functions that solve specific needs.

That approach is visible across the line. Some accessories focus on optics handling, such as covers and mounting solutions, while others address rifle setup and shooting comfort. Blaser also offers specialized items such as the QDC+ system for elevation correction on longer shots, showing that the series is not limited to protection or storage but also includes field-oriented performance upgrades. In practice, Blaser Accessories is aimed at hunters and rifle owners who want original parts that integrate neatly with Blaser platforms, preserve the intended ergonomics and avoid the compromise that often comes with generic aftermarket components.

About the Blaser Rubber Recoil Pad Old English – 17 mm

The Blaser Rubber Recoil Pad Old English – 17 mm is a rifle-stock accessory built for shooters who want to maintain the classic look and handling of a Blaser R8 wooden stock while improving shooting comfort. Its role is simple but important: it forms the contact point between rifle and shoulder, where material choice and thickness directly affect how the rifle feels under recoil and how securely it mounts when a quick shot is needed.

The rubber construction helps in two practical ways. First, it provides a more forgiving shoulder interface than a hard butt end, which can make extended practice sessions or repeated hunting shots less tiring. Second, rubber offers more grip against clothing, reducing the tendency of the stock to slide during mounting. That matters on hunting rifles, where a stable shoulder position supports more consistent cheek weld and steadier sight alignment.

The 17 mm profile makes this version a sensible choice for users who want recoil absorption without turning the rear of the stock into a bulky extension. Because it is intended for R8 wooden stocks, it suits owners who want a replacement or alternative pad that stays in keeping with the rifle’s original proportions and traditional styling. At 250.00 g, it remains a substantial, purpose-built component rather than a cosmetic add-on, contributing to comfort while preserving the balanced feel expected from a premium hunting rifle.

About Blaser

Today, Blaser Group is headquartered in Isny im Allgäu, Germany, and Blaser sits within a wider group that also includes MAUSER and J.P.

Blaser is also known for solutions such as the Original Blaser Saddle Mount, designed for quick, tool-free removal and replacement of a riflescope. Alongside firearms, the company offers sport optics including riflescopes and binoculars, making it a manufacturer with a broad focus on complete hunting equipment rather than standalone rifle parts alone.
