Thread: cheek rest riser

The practicalmlimit to how high a fixed cheekpiece can be is that you still need to get a cleaning rod down the barrell.

A wood stock is easy: find anice bit of walnut, dowel and epoxy it on, shaped to size and fit.

Plastic is difficult. I made an elaborate one by cutting the relevant part off a spare synthetic butt once and grafting it on. Adds heaps of weight and half of people cant see through my scope cos they've got strange shaped faces. But its real good to shoot with. On another gun i stuck a piece of electrical tape on the comb so it would be removable when i get sick of it. Then built up a narrow cheekpiece with epoxy putty on top of the tape to just the right height. No time for doubts- it hardens in about 5 minutes. Took 1/100th the work and it does the job well.
