I have used toolbox drawer liner (the rubbery padded stuff). Completely cover the back side with double-faced tape, cut to the desired shape, and stick it on. Making a paper template first is always a good idea.


Or, you could completely refinish with pickup truck bed liner, which has anti-skid grit in it.

Red, would a sling help or fit your situation?

Good Luck,

Amigo

Red:

I really ought to get one of those Gamo Gun Buddies for my wife. Yea, I could sometimes use one too - ought to order two.
I see they are on sale at Pyramid for $12.99 and as high as $15.99 at Compasseco.

They appear to work fine as long as the stock has a raised cheek piece for the strap loop to catch on.

Regards,

Amigo
