Buy recommendations Winchester 1892 recoil pad

I have a new production Winchester 1892 in .357Mag. It has the classic crescent buttplate style, which I find to be very uncomfortable to shoot because of the pointy ends. I'm looking for a rubber recoil pad like the limbsaver ones, I wanted to hear your recommandation for the best ones and to be sure to get one that fits.

I put a limbsaver on my 1892 .44, and I think it's a small, because I'll throw it on my Homesteader if the wife is out as well. I didn't want to alter the actual stock because I think it's beautiful looking, but the crescent/metal thing does not make for comfortable shooting. Slides on and off, I think it cost about 40-50 bucks, and I've left it on for a stupid amount of time and it hasn't affected the wood in a negative way (it shouldn't, but I've seen that concern raised before.

Just checked, it was the small size for the 1892, it's 52.99 on amazon, unless you've got a local gunshop that can order it in.
