I bought my Rem 1100 12 ga. in 1967; total cost was $138.75. It came without a recoil pad — just the Rem. plastic butt plate. However, I used it thru several dove seasons, and never felt any need for a recoil pad. I am not a large person, but I never felt any pain. I believe this is largely due to the gas operation. I bought a Rem. 760, cal. .270 at the same shop in the same year. It DOES need a recoil pad. I bought a slip on rubber plastic pad which does the job, but I imagine the kick would be no worse with the same rifle in .30-O6. BTW, the cost was $105.49. This was a brand-new gun, and so was the 1100. Both guns are in as new condition. I imagine someone will pay a lot of money for either gun at an estate sale.
