Beretta USA MicroCore® Sporting & Skeet Recoil Pad — 0.71" Profile, Black Rubber (E73023 • UPC 082442156637)
Mount clean, shoot longer, and finish strong. The Beretta USA MicroCore® Sporting & Skeet Recoil Pad with a 0.71" thickness uses Beretta’s proprietary microcellular rubber to soften recoil while preserving a lively gun feel—exactly what clay competitors demand. Optimized for sporting clays and skeet, this pad provides a smooth, snag-free mount, a secure shoulder lock-up, and just enough extra length-of-pull to fine-tune fit without overhauling your gun’s dimensions.
Why Sporting & Skeet Shooters Choose MicroCore® (0.71")
Progressive recoil absorption: MicroCore’s micro-cell structure cushions the impulse over time, reducing face slap and shoulder fatigue during 100+ bird rounds.
Smooth, fast mount: Lightly textured surface slides into position without grabbing jerseys or vests, helping maintain swing continuity on hard crossers.
Balanced 0.71" thickness: Adds a touch more length of pull (LOP) than the 0.51" pad—perfect when you need comfort and a small fit adjustment.
Consistent shoulder weld: Contoured edges increase surface contact for a repeatable mount that keeps your head locked in the gun.
Competition-ready durability: Resilient black rubber resists compression set and temperature swings for reliable performance season after season.

Performance You’ll Notice
Quicker second shots: Softer recoil and stable butt contact help keep beads aligned for rapid pairs.
Improved follow-through: Damping minimizes bounce so the gun stays planted during the shot cycle.
Long-day comfort: Less cumulative impact means more focus on leads, breaks, and consistency—not your shoulder.

Fit & Compatibility Notes
Intended for Beretta shotguns with MicroCore®-ready buttstocks (Sporting/Skeet stocks).
Pad shape and screw spacing can vary by model generation (e.g., field vs. target stocks). Confirm your stock pattern before ordering.
Usually installs with the existing pad screws; avoid over-tightening to protect the rubber.
Quick Installation Overview
Ensure the shotgun is unloaded and safe.
Remove the current pad (typically two screws through the pad face).
Align the MicroCore® 0.71" pad with the stock holes; start screws by hand.
Tighten evenly and gently—snug, not crushed.
Mount the gun to verify LOP and shoulder pocket alignment.
(If fitment seems off, consult your gunsmith or Beretta’s official fit guide.)
