I have a Tikka T3x in a McMillan Edge stock. I feel like I have to lift my head to see through the scope. What cheek piece would y’all recommend?
Rifle is chambered in 7mag and scope is Trijicon Creedo 2-10x56.

Assume you can't lower the scope...

The rings are as low as I can go. The 56mm objective is the culprit. I have never used one this big but it was a gift and I like the scope. Would love to make it work.

I have the Beartooth comb risers on several rifles with stocks that I couldn't get good cheek weld on. They aren't very expensive, so if they don't work for you, you're not out much coin.

I've used the Beartooth comb risers with a good deal of success on a rifle or two. Butt (no pun intended) ugly, but effective.

Just received a email from Hogue and they are introducing a new cheek rest for composite stocks.

I used a lace on leather one on a Mauser once before I restocked it. Worked fine. Don't recall where it came from maybe Brownells or Midway. Might have been this https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1023260125?pid=498461

I also use Beartooth comb risers. I have them on 3 Tikka T3x's. they work well, but it's hard to make up the elevation needed to compensate for a 56mm objective. They come with several foam pads that vary in thickness. You can use more than one pad to achieve your desired height.

A scope with smaller objective would be a good place to start! If still an issue….adjustable check rests are available! They can be handy with multiple shooters and one rifle……though, they’re not cosmetically appealing! memtb

I have a Beartooth on my A-Bolt 300 win mag. Helped a ton and made shooting it more comfortable overall.

Sell the stock and buy one with a different comb shape.

I put a stick-on rubbery job from Brownell's or Cabelas on the Ru77 .338 when I put a 50mm scope and high mounts on. It worked perfectly for me, but I have a long neck anyway. I've recently changed to a standard 3X9 (32mm?) and it still works. Snap the gun up and my eye is aligned. I haven't seen that cheek piece advertised in years, so maybe no longer available, or maybe I just have missed it. Haven't really been perusing that segment of accessories.
Ugly, but a bunch of moose died laughing, via mostly standing off-hand shooting, mostly under 100 yards, but two out to 160 or so.

Google Accuriser adj comb they are the tits on74 Sharps clone when your sight is way up the staff. They make many models. Mb Have used the Accu-Riser as welll. Got one attached to the synthetic stock of a Rem 11-87 slug gun with cantilevered barrel. Just the ticket. Brownell's sells, or used to sell, a product called Scope-Eez. It was a stick-on and was available in a number of different heights. Had one on a synthetic stocked Rem 700, 223. Again, it served its purpose, but was prone to peeling on the edges, and over time would no longer adhere to the stock. The nice thing about the Accu-Riser and Scope-Eez products is that they do not have a lot of material that comes down over the sides of the comb. Therefor, the shooters face is not 'pushed' to the side like a lot of other comb risers/stock packs.

I like these and have several that help Fieldcraft no comb stocks.

I have the Godagrip Shotgun Wedge on two rifles. Love them. They use a special 3M adhesive (300LSE ?) that sticks to the stock exceptionally well... https://godagrip.com/cheek-pads-2/
