BERETTA MicroCore Shotgun Competition Recoil Pad

Bought the 28mm as a replacement for the unobtainable Beretta Geltek system that is no longer produced. Have a Beretta 682 Gold Skeet 12 bore. 5 min change on my kitchen table, perfect fit. Had a gun shop tell me this probably needed to be sent away to be re-fitted by a gunsmith as nothing existed that could fit. Looking on various forums this MicroCore was recommended as an option. Shooting forums were correct. Delivered a day earlier than promised.

Brilliant piece of kit , but sold my Beretta after delivery

Had damaged my recoils pad on my silver pigeon had found this on Amazon for a very good price slightly unsure if it would fit. Arrived very quickly and fitted my silver pigeon 1 perfectly.

As described, as long as you have the measurement for the one you need and as long as its a beretta it should fit straight on, no need to reduce size as long as your stock hasn't been shortened

This is a decent recoil pad, but just not quite as good as the now discontinued Beretta "Gel Tek" pad (I can't understand why Beretta discontinued that excellent pad !)

My old pad had started to breakdown so I replaced it with this one. An easy job to fit on my 682 Gold E and comfortable to use.

Fits a treat exactly the same as the original

Ideal

Replacement for original - great fit.

What was the hardest part of the R&R? Figuring out what screwdriver was correct! Nothing I found in Berettaland said anything other than Phillips #2 was correct or it was a Torx screw. Ok, I have a Phillips #2, but it just would not engage properly and I had a strong opinion it was wanting to round off the lugs so I stopped, rethought my search criteria and found a brief forum exchange saying Beretta uses a Pozidrive #2 screw in a number of their products. To AMZ I went, found one I wanted, arrived 2 days later, and literally took me 5 minutes to replace the pad. No slippage, no screw damage just an easy task to complete. Saved me taking it to a gunsmith who would likely laugh under their breath or outright at the silliness (and expense) of having to have someone do it. The Pozi #2 stays with the gun case from now on.

I don't typically write reviews but with the difficulties I had getting the correct replacement I thought this might be helpful. This pad was the exact replacement of the original for the A400 competition (xcel extreme...) and not the upland. Competition is the 5.35" length and upland is the 5.03". You will have to reuse your existing screws. Be sure to use a couple of drops of gun oil on the pad holes to reduce damaging the pad while inserting the screws and installing it to the stock. Hope this is helpful to someone Now back to making dust from clays

Perfect fit for my Beretta A400 Excl sporting. Pad is approximately a quarter inch shorter than the original stock pad.

The recoil pad fits perfectly gun looks new again
