I've always had trouble with paralax error. I'm a good shooter, not great. I can shoot sub-MOA with one rifle and MOA with several others. The one rifle that I can shoot sub-MOA with has a raised cheek rest on the stock. The others don't and I try to eliminate paralax error by always holding my head in the same place relative to the stock. But I still have more horizontal spread than I would like.

I'm wise enough to know that the one thing that can improve my accuracy is practice. I know that the limitatiions are mostly mine, not the gear. Still I'm vain enough to think that if I had a raised cheek rest on my other riflers, I might eliminate some of that horizontal spread.

There are four rifles that I think I might improve by adding a raised cheek rest. Two have synthetic stocks. Two have a walnut stocks.

I'm not rich and I'm really too cheap to buy new stocks.

So how can I add raised cheek patches to these rifles? And not make them look like abominations?


Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.
