Suggest a cheek riser/pad

[limitz]

I just got the 3/4'' rise one off Cabelas, but unfortunately, my rifle's bolt won't open all the way.

I'd like to hear what cheek risers you guys are putting on your rifles.

Karsten Cheek Rest
I cant remember where I got it but there is an A, B & C model. I suggest the one without the quick elevation adjustment as it holds firm and wont slip down on you, cost about $60

Go here: Karsten's stuff.
I have two or three of his cheekpieces. Thanks for reminding me, I need another one.

Karsten's looks great. Thanks, I may be going with him.

Any other suggestions for perhaps a version in leather so I can compare?

I've always been a big fan of leather.

RAT grips. Non permanent, mold to your face and then covered with a stock pack.

Re: Suggest a cheek riser/pad

there is some stuff by kick-eze i think. different thicknesses available from midway. you can trim a notch in anything to allow the bolt to open and be removed. if you use yahoo or goodle and enter "leather stock pad" or something similar you get a bunch of hits. guys use mouse pads and duct tape under a regular stock pack. others have (fiber)glassed a raised rest and bondo'ed it and you cant tell its not factory.

how handy are ya?

Good day,

Sinister recommended this one, I still need to try it out:

Doc, you can reach Dan through his web site: http://cheekwelder.com/

They work really well. I shoot my rifle with both iron sights and scopes and I didn't want to drill mine, either. The Cheek Welder is more comfortable than the Eagle stock pack.

They come in medium, high, and extra high. High seems to fit best for this particular stock and 20 MOA sloped rail, 42mm objective scope in 30mm medium height rings.

Sinister, hope you don't mind me re-quoting a PM,
DocB

Are you sure that's the right website?

http://cheekwelder.com/

Seems like a "stock" site. Are you sure he's still in business?

Re: Suggest a cheek riser/pad

Does the Karsten or SWP cheek rest involve drilling through the stock?

Yes, you have to drill it. The XLR cheekpiece is aluminum and seems nicer than the Karsten so take a look at that too.

Re: Suggest a cheek riser/pad

I'm still not ready to drill my stock. I have a stock pack that didn't provide enough rise for allignment with my scope so I just used what I had around the house and duct tape to raise the comb height. Then I slapped the stock pack back on and cinched it down. Kinda ghetto, but you can't see under the stock pack and it works perfectly. Thought it wouldn't be permanent, but...

another vote for XLR's cheek piece

Re: Suggest a cheek riser/pad

I've used something like what's here at midway
http://www.midwayusa.com/Find?userSearchQuery=cheek+rest

the ones I had were leather and laced onto the rifle. Can't find one but those listed at midway will work.

have you though of having one machined into the stock? something like what's on the mcmillan stocks

scroll down through the page and you'll see some decent adjustable cheek rests
