Thread: Tikka stock cheek riser

What’s everyone using for a standard tikka stock? Only need a small amount, not a large one. Ideally after something simple that’s not overly intrusive on the rifle. I see some of the newer tikka variants have a small riser on them, something simple like that be ideal.

Thanks

gun city do a factory one but a little pricey. looks like the one on the aspire.

Exactly what i’m thinking. Bugger it’s $160

@stagstalker there’s some 3d printed ones on trademe. Few heights to choose from, can stick or screw onto stock. Two piece system so you can still get bolt out

I just use high density foam and vet wrap for my 300. Does the trick.

Pipe insulation (already the right contour and available in different sizes, also cheap) then sniper tape to hold it down securely.

Add a 'calf compression band' for extra comfort and storage (stick a Norma plastic ammunition clip behind it).

The twinneedle stock pack does look a bit intrusive on the rifle but i find just that on its own gives me the perfect amount of height. Can always put some foam under it if ya want to lift it. Handy having some rounds close at hand also. Il be putting one on all my rifles eventually.

Bike inner tube works well with foam underneath

Work ok. They do have a small flaw tho...the front removable piece comes loose under recoil. I just run a length of black duck tape along the length, and it's been 100% since.

Thanks all, have ordered one of these in 13mm. Priced pretty well and pretty much what a I was thinking so hopefully goes well.

Yeah they're ok for the dollars ( you get what ya pay for ) I put one on the ARX, can get the bolt in without removing the front piece so glued it in place be warned though they don't like the heat, this is what happens after a hot sunny day on the tops. Think I'm going to look for a "one" piece option

Had the same issue as Philipo - but it happened in deep snow. Then when warmed up again, one side warped out like in his photo. Used tape but too cheap & nasty for me. Now have the tikka aftermarket cheek riser fitted.

Yea interesting. My one arrived yesterday and I was a little underwhelmed with its quality. I guess that’s the price you pay though at $40 vs $160 for the Tikka one.
