Gunsmithing Cheek rest mod.

[scpaul]

I don't know if this really belongs in gunsmithing. I have a laminated wood stock that I have worked on so that it fits me. I'm considering cutting the top of the comb and setting it up so that I can adjust the comb for eye alignment to the scope. Now I'm using a ctg. sleeve with dense foam under it to fit/lift my cheek. Has anyone ever cut the comb and refitted it so that it's adjustable and is there a kit for this purpose? I think that I can get some pieces from a wood workers supply but I don't want it to look like it was just rigged.
Thanks, scpaul

I have a Ducos installed Loggerhead on a 700 in an HS stock…as in compost and not wood stock.

For wood stocks, there are a vast array of stock smiths who install adjustable comb (it’s a comb…not a cheek piece) hardware that adjust up/down as well as left right...typically on shotguns as clay target shooters have been doing this for decades while seemingly a more recent advent in rifles.

It’s an easy job that is often done during a wknd skeet/trap tournament.
