Adhesive Cheek Pad Material???

[samb300]

I'm currently using a Wiebad velcro cheek pad for the cheekpiece on my AX, and while it is comfortable, it adds a little more thickness than I'd like. Basically, it limits the amount of downward adjustment in the cheekpiece so I can't get it as low as I'd like for free-recoil and positional shooting.

Is there anything out there that you guys use for an adhesive cheek pad? I can get a 1'x1' piece of black moleskin and cut it to shape, but I was wondering if anyone had any other tricks up their sleeve?

Thanks!

Go to a craft store, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Michael's, you get the idea and seek out the self adhesive foam sheets. They're like a buck and work great!

I bought a cheap mouse pad and glued it to my cheek riser using 3M black weatherstrip adhesive. Has worked fine and added minimal height.

God'a Grip? They have a customizable pad that's 1/16" thick: http://godagrip.com/customizable-pads/

Alternatively, there's the Victor Company grippy cheekrest: http://www.victorcompanyusa.com/cheekrest.html

I have used armaflex tape before in a pinch. (armaflex is the insulation you commonly see on your refrigerant piping for air conditioning) 1/8" thick, 2" wide and the adhesive is strong.

Dense sheet foam from the craft store and contact cement.

Thanks for the ideas, gents!

I think I will try some adhesive backed moleskin or something like the God'a Grip where I can cut it to fit the cheek piece. The craft store foam looks like it would work as well, but the thought of a tan cheek pad on my sage green AX makes me cringe a little

They make it in black too.

I actually tried a Grippy Cheekrest when I had my AT, but the one I got from Midway was distorted (twisted) and was nowhere near as comfortable as the Wiebad cheek pad. Maybe I got a dud, but I ended up returning it.
