Remington had trouble with their early R3 pads as you've discovered. I've called Remington customer service on a number of 700's with the same issue and they have made good on the problem each time. For synthetic stocked guns they've sent me pre-fit replacement pads that no longer break down at no cost. For wood stocked guns, they've sent a complete replacement stock. You can't argue with that! The only thing they will need is the serial number of the gun - they obviously only want to correct the problem once per gun.

In the meantime while you wait for a replacement, try coating the pad with a dusting of corn starch or a baby powder that is pure corn starch. It may help.

Can I get a replacement recoil pad for my synthetic stock 7mm 08. The one that came new on this gun is desinograting. Or melting . It get black on everything it touches and sticks to everything. It is horrible.
