Just want some feedback if it would be worth the expense to put one on my mx2000.

Recoil reducer in a pad, Falconstrike!
Ran across this recoil reducer when researching recoil pads. I was skeptical but decided for $150 and 100% refund guarantee, what did I have to lose. I was ready to pop for $600 on an Isis for a new to me Kolar low profile so I gave this a try. Hydraulic Recoil Pad | Recoil Reducer | Shotguns...

After Rick's review and posting of a photo I bought one for my Perazzi MX-8. After getting it I ordered a second one (the $120.00 Christmas special). The only downside is since they are fluid filled you can't grind them for a perfect fit. If you go to their site and type in your stock dimensions they will suggest the model closest to your stock size. The fit on the one on my MX-8 isn't near perfect but it is acceptable.

Really nice you don’t have to cut or bore out stock, or buy a another 2 piece stock with reducer. You can remove the pad, put original back on it, sell the gun, put the FalconStrike on your new gun. If I could buy the plates alone, I would do so for all my shotguns and move the pad from one gun to another and store the guns on the metal plate, not the pad. Maybe I could use a metal spacer and attach the FS to that with nut inserts in the stock and machine screws to the FS plate.

I have one on my Browning, I wish they would add more replacement models instead of the universals, but I do like it,
I can say the customer service is incredible, and most times its the owner of the company you deal with. He is a stand up guy that wants to make your purchase a pleasant experience. good guy.

Great info guys! I appreciate it.
I recently purchased and installed the Falconstrike on my Citori CX 12 gauge, 30 inch barrels. I did not find the reduction in recoil as impressive as stated by others. I was shooting 1 1/8 oz at 1250 fps.
I was concerned about the hardness of the pad. Mine feels like it might have too much fluid inside. I inquired about this to the manufacturer, but have not heard back from them.
The pad did in increase my LOP by over 1/2 inch, but am able to maintain a good gun mount.
I hope to shoot more with the new pad, maybe, I was expecting too much.

I have two and and they do work. Have enabled me to shoot guns again that I developed sensitivity to. One thing not mentioned I had to learn for myself. You cannot hold a death grip with the stock hard against your shoulder. I have to use a relaxed hold to make it work. I think holding it too tightly compresses the pad to prevent it from working.
Shot my 3200 this week with it. I had an original red Remington pad that aged hard. Put the Falconstrike on it and it was like shooting a 410.
I spoke with Mark, designer/owner about my concerns of being over filled.
He said, it sounded like everything was as designed and offered satisfaction or full refund. Nice guy and listened to some suggestions on grind to fit base plate. I told him I wanted to keep the pad and would do more shooting.
All other shooters seem to be happy with the pad. I have access to an identical gun, with a Hi Viz pad and will make a side by side comparison.
I will let the other gun owner shoot it, also.

Hello,
Any more updates or input on this product? I am looking to replace a R.A.D unit only because I can't cut the stock any shorter and with the R.A.D at the shortest setting and the thinnest pad KickEez available it is still 1/2" too long.
Thank you.
