I recently purchased a Henry 45-70 lever action. I reloaded many different recipes using a 350 grain bullet. I plan to use this firearm for hunting whitetail deer this fall. However when shooting at the range I would like to have a slip on recoil pad available. What options are out there to fit this model and what do people recommend?

first, welcome to our community, happy to have you join us ..... there are bunches of slip on recoil pads on the market .... Amazon offers a pretty good selection of slip on recoil pads ===> https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_f ... recoil+pad <=== in years past I've had good results from Pachmayr Slip On Recoil Pad ===> https://www.amazon.com/Pachmayr-Slip-Re ... recoil+pad <=== and Pachmayr Decelerator Slip On Recoil Pad ===> https://www.amazon.com/Pachmayr-Deceler ... recoil+pad <===

I've been using a Past Magnum wearable shoulder pad lately. not bad for range use.

Plus one on the Past shoulder rig, though I find it a bit awkward to use for bench shooting. For offhand work, though, works very well.

For bench shooting with the big kickerss, I'll often just use sissy bag, a small sand bag placed between the stock and my shoulder.

A whoopee cushion would get attention at the range...

Ahhhhhh .... Canadian humor .... outstanding ....

I got a slip-on recoil pad for my 45-70. Works great for dampening recoil but it kept sliding off center. A picture of tratortad's Marlin 1895cba with a laced up recoil pad gave me an idea. This is the second try. It has held for two rang sessions and about 70 rounds.

I just picked up a Limbsaver recoil pad at Wally world for my brass 45/70. They had 2 sizes. One labeled small/med. And one labeled medium. I bought the med. It fit real well and clears the stud for the sling swivel. I haven't used it yet but it seems like it will work fine.

I have one called shooters friend. I think I got it at Cabelas. It just slips over the butt. Its made of a latex type material but it sure worked good on the 45-100 Sharps rifle. Al

I got the Pachmayr Decelerator size medium. Slips right over the original pad on my H010AW and it adds about an inch to the stock that I needed. I haven't actually used it yet but it seems to stay in place ok.
