    I’ve used both and of course the decelerator is better !

    What does the Jandal thing consist of these days ?
    Prhaps a hard plastic plate and two thicknesses of jandal all glued together with silicone all clear or something ?
    I dont think you can expect high levels of accuracy, due to the recoil pad being such a key component of the mechanical / harmonic aspect of the rifle. So for a long ranger it would be a temporary measure. You might find so eone who can give you an old pad theyve taken off or never used if you can hold on a month or two.

    As noted by @6x47 its hard to get a very tidy professional shaping job doing it yourself. Ive fitted a few dcelerator ( basket weave face) for my guns but the rubber tends to bulge out and you have to use high revs on a sander with very gentle pressure to make it look nice plus might scratch your stick. I think gunsmiths have a special jig that gives a professional finish.

    I was just thinking one layer, but could laminate up two. There's a hard plastic plate behind my current pad. I am going to have to destroy the rubber part to remove it as the screws won't budge, so may be able to salvage the plate.

    Your comment re. accuracy may have convinced me to spend the money - that's the point of the exercise, as I'm wanting to rule out recoil / flinch as a cause of current inaccuracy.
