Hey everyone, I have been looking for a comb riser/cheek pad to get better alignment with my scope. I have high leupold rings on my guide gun right now, and dont have a strong enough cheek weld as I like.

Does anyone use a cheek pad/ Comb riser?

Which One?

Thanks,

FMP

I would go with a traditional-looking leather one (not a neoprene one) on that rifle.

Cabelas has a good one: Leather Comb Raiser

I've put several on the rifles of friends. Well made, no complaints and it you can unlace the leather to remove it (no adhesives).

Or.......Use low rings, and end up with a cleaner gun.

I have one of his Butt Stock Covers (with bullet loops), Rifle sling, cartridge pouch and he made me a very nice knife case to replace one my youngest son lost.
All very nice work� very nice. He can make them simple (like mine)or fancy your choice.
He is also a very nice guy.
I know he makes a leather comb riser� who knows maybe he can add bullet loops.

Temmi, I don't mean to question your choice of scopes, but you must be using a very big scope to need high scope rings. Have you given any though to trying a compact scope like a Leupold VX-II 1-4X, VX-III 1.5-5X, old Weaver 2.5X or similar. I have found that they are just about ideal for my Marlin 45-70 rifles. You can mount them nice and low. They dont ruin the great handling qualities of a handy levergun. And, they eliminate the need for a stock riser. It is just a thought. No offense intended.

Regards,
TBB

TnBigBore,

Sorry for the confusion�
I have a set of Brockman receiver sights, which I recommend highly, so I don�t need a comb riser/cheek pad.
I was only commenting on the �Cabelas� model which looked nice and then Levergun�s (http://www.levergunleather.com/) product� which I do not have his cheek pad, only his Rifle sling and buttscock cover with bullet loops.
I just can�t bring myself to put a scope on a lever gun.

I have one of Lever's slings and a buttstock cuff/cartridge carrier for my 1895. Very high quality stuff.

Temmi and elkhunter76,
You two are too kind. Thanks for the kind words.

Temmi,
Yes, I make cheek rests with bullet loops.
