Right now I am running 30mm tubes with 50mm objectives. Would like to here from those of you on here that are using 34-35mm tubes with 50 & 56mm objectives, I would like to know if it caused you much difficulty to switch and if you had to go to using an adjustable cheek piece in order to get a good cheekweld.

Re: check weld w/ 34mm tubes
Also no. I was running a 30mm tube w/42mm objective, and went to a 35mm tube with 42mm Objective. Used the same stock, and same stock pack, before and after and no differences noted in cheek weld or ability to get a good weld.

Re: check weld w/ 34mm tubes
I ran a 30mm USO on a manners mcst with badger standard height rings. The cheekweld was perfect for me
Now I sold the USO and picked up a SB 4x16x50 with 1.0 badger usmc rings. I am not happy with the cheekweld at all. I am going to order a stock pack and try it out.
IMO you need a adj cheekpiece or a stock pack to have a perfect cheekweld with a 34mm or 1.0 high rings. You could try Seekins lows which I believe are .92 that would help some.
Remeber proper cheekweld differs for each shooter. The main factor in that is the shooters cheeks (DO YOU HAVE FAT OR THIN CHEEKS???)

Re: check weld w/ 34mm tubes
A little padding under the stock pack works too and no need for an adjustable cheekpiece. Figure going from a .825" rings to 1" isn't that much and a small piece of foam will take care of it.

The best idea I have ever heard to accomplish raising a stock pack is to buy a length of 2" wide hook/look (Velcro) adhesive back strip at Home Depot or the like. Cut to length and stick the adhesive sides together so there is hook on one side and loop on the other. Stick the hook to the inside of the stock pack (which is loop) repeat to achieve desired height.

My pleasure, but I believe I learned that tip from Steve at Triad.

Re: check weld w/ 34mm tubes
So is there really any reason to get a adj check piece? If you can put a stock pack on it and then modify it.

Re: check weld w/ 34mm tubes
yes...so that after perfectly setting the adjustable cheek piece and obtaining that edge to edge clarity firing the most amazing group of your life with witnesses and all...you can dick it up completely when you have to take the bolt out of the gun to clean it and then repeat the aforementioned process once again.
that was the only reason I could think of off hand.

Re: check weld w/ 34mm tubes
This can be avoided by cutting and installing lengths of tubing whose ID accomidates the cheek piece legs that make the cheek piece go back on the stock at the same height every time.

Re: check weld w/ 34mm tubes
I made a cheek pad that has a single piece of 3mm neoprene in it for use on my Mannors GAT with a 34mm tube and 56 obj with low Seekins rings.
I later stuck a piece of 1/4 foam under the pad and it was way to high. I am back to the original and it works great.

Re: check weld w/ 34mm tubes
If you use the same height rings that you used with your 30mm scope,your cheek weld should be the same. Ring height is measured from the top of the rail the center of the ring.

To get my cheek/stock interaction true, I cut a scrap piece of foam to size for 'lift' under my Eagle Pack...
