Even if there is, I recommend you print out the templates on the sims site, take your pad off and match it as closely as possible to the templates, then order that pad, no matter what it's for.
I did this with my H&R laminate. The one they recommended for this stock wasn't even close, and the one that fit was for another manufacturer, can't recall who off the top of my head, but it fits very well.

My recollection is that nobody found the pre-fit Limbsaver to be a perfect fit; most said it was "good enough".

If used one of the grind to fit. Ended up being pretty rough. It fits the stock well but the rubber isn't smooth looking. I don't care, it feels good and I'm not about looks. I'd go with a "good enough" one if I had to it over again.

I agree with younghunter-the grind to fit simms is kinda hard to work with. The rubber wants to tear instead of sand. Someone suggested freezing the pad and use lots of wd40 when sanding. This helped alot!
It seemed when I ordered the recommended prefit pad from Simms mine wasn't even close. I have heard of guys ordering prefits that were close enough.
If I was going to grind my own again I would look at the kick-eze!

Good choice, Rex; Kick-Eez and WD40 worked for this first time installer.

10601 will fit with just a tiny bit of the heel showing, cuting off 3/8 inch of the stock will make it perfect.

Mike is right on, 10601 is 3/8" thicker than the stock pad. It goes on with a little bit of heel showing. I wanted mine to be the same length as the original, so after cutting off the 3/8" of wood, it fit perfect.

I got a pre fit Sims for my thumbhole Savage. I was a little big so I just ground the hard rubber part at an angle. Came out pretty good and I didn’t have to grind any soft rubber. The bigger pad also helps. with the recoil  |
