Hello, i am new here but was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a cheek pad for a model 99 EG. I have a 2.5-5 power 20 mm scope on it but my eye doesn't quite line up to the scope the way i'd like.

I just move my head, neck and shoulder around. Can line up on any gun.

I do that now but was just wondering if a cheek pad would help . When i bring the gun to bear i have to move my head around as you stated to get a proper alignment. I would like my eye to be aligned with the center of the scope when i bring the gun up.

There's lots on the market. I use a couple when shooting low combed guns. Google is your friend.

I have a 2.5-5 power 20 mm scope on it but my eye doesn't quite line up to the scope the way i'd like. I have a half dozen EG's with scopes mounted. Nary an issue. Are you using low med or high rings? I have a 1920 that I put a vintage leather lace on cheek riser.

If its a low comb that's giving you the problem then there's a couple things I like to do. First, mount the scope as low as you can. I think Weavers can do this a tad better than Redfield/Leupold mount and rings, and nothing gets it lower than the old Stith "No Gunsmithing" mount. Second, as Gary said, there are a variety of comb risers out there. The most common are usually made of nylon cloth and held on with Velcro fasteners. I like the older leather lace on comb risers but you do have to be aware of their ability to retain moisture.
