Just checked and it's actually a Kick-eeze. It looks like there's a dedicated Limb-Saver built for the M77 (https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/limb...438108035.html). Could you tell me what size Pachmayr you use?

It looks to be a grind to fit. Any lettering on it is almost too tiny to read, I had to use a flashlight just to find it was a Pachmayr Decellerator. I would tend to believe any of the three pads would work out for you. The original owner of my rifle probably had the pad professionally fitted, and possibly the stock shortened, (my arms aren't long and with the pad it fits me well).
I just read the entire ad on Cheaper Than Dirt, that pad only fits synthetic stocks, (read the Q&A below in the ad). It looked kinda odd with the recessed portion, that fits into the stock. Won't work on a wood stock.
Look on Midway U.S.A. site, they have 4 pages of pads, you might be better off with a slip on pad for bench work and getting a thinner pad for field use, (remember, you'll probably be wearing some thick clothing).

Beartooth products makes the best slip on pad I've seen. It actually grips the contours of the stock. Their ammo carriers are dandy too.
Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.
Sounds good, Pachmayr is good stuff. I have long arms too and sometimes mount a pad only for that reason. My super accurate Marlin Glenfield 30 wears a Leopold VX-3 1-5x20 which has like 5" of eye relief. I had to put a pad on the stock and rail mount the scope forward to where it would be comfortable to shoot!

Did you get the rifle yet? I would have the pad choice tailored to the clothing you would expect to wear on your hunt, harmony.
