	Having fired Dave's b92, I can attest to the fact that it's
	'interesting' to shoot it off the bench. I have no problem
	with the recoil from standing, so I must be doing something
	right. . . Anyway, since I'm getting closer and closer to 
	actually taking the plunge and getting one of my p-14's
	built up into a 458 WinMag, I'd like to ask for recommendations
	for recoil pads for rifles that have that level of recoil.
	(actually, the 458 is just something to let me work up my recoil
	endurance, up to the level of the 500 A-square. People always
	ask me what the hell I want a 500 A-square for, as in "what
	the hell is it usefull for"? The only reply I have found that
	works is "it's a toy, just like your sports car: not real
	useful, but loads of fun!" :))
