Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Cheek Weld Pads?

Hello! I'm looking at adding at least one but maybe up to four cheek weld pads. One guy on another site recommended Beartooth Comb Raising Kits. But I am in my early stages of research and thought I'd ask you guys. First of all, these are all hunting rifles so I'm not looking to add a lot of weight. I'm looking to shoot a little better and add a little looks and any other advantage it can give me. But I have seriously have only owned one gun in my life with one and I never hunted with it. Which one would you recommend and why. Thank you.

I have a couple of the Beartooth kits – I'm a fan.
Not sure I'd want one to reside on a wood stock for any length of time.

+1 on the Beartooth kits. They’ve been a $20 game changer for me.

Do you use the ones with the shell holders? Do the shells fall out? Thank you waterdoctor!

I added moleskin until I had what I wanted. More versatile of where/how you can put it and come off easily to change if it isn't right

I use the plain ones.. Don't care for the shells on rifle stock.

How much height do you need?

I picked up a pack of 3.5"x6" felt "Super Sliders" from Walmart. They are adhesive-backed felt patches that go on the bottom of furniture so you can slide it around without scratching your floor. If it's too thick, a mill bastard will thin it down.

I've used the Beartooth kits. They're pretty good. But if I'm going to carry a stock pad, I like it to have the added functionality of a pocket and internal cartridge loops. The Triad Tactical Stock Pack is my go-to. I just ordered several more. It uses Velcro strips to adjust the height. In the pocket goes 5 rounds in the loops, a DOPE card, and a couple of small tools like an allen key and a coin for scope turrets. I prefer internal shell loops versus external, so ammo doesn't get lost in transit.

Can you post a picture?

I have to admit, I'm leaning this way. I like the idea of a few extra rounds and stuff to clean my scope with. I use the Zeiss wipes. I was telling my wife about it and she said order them for Christmas! LOL!

I like the Beartooth Comb Risers too.

Since they have foam inserts, if you use them on a wood stock and the inserts get wet, you'll want to remove them and dry them and the sleeve so that the moisture doesn't damage the stock's finish. I probably have 20 of them installed at this time on both synthetic stocks, mostly Ruger American Predators, and a few wood stocks, all Husqvarnas with HVA actions and low comb height Mannlicher-style stocks from the late 1950s through the mid-1960s.

I have never needed to use any of the cartridges carried in elastic stocks sleeves with loops, so I prefer the plain style. That said, stock to shooter fit is different for everyone, with factory specs beings a compromise. I prefer to modify the gun to fit me, rather than accommodate myself to fit the gun, but the great majority of people shoot factory specs without complaint, probably because they don't have enough breadth of experience to recognize the sort of subtle differences that jump out for experienced shooters.

I ordered two of the Beartooths and two of the Triad Tactical Stock Packs! Just for anyone's information, the Beartooths were only 21.99 at Cabela's. I ordered a set of grips for my new Beretta and put it over 50 bucks so express shipping was free also. Thanks for the info everyone! Merry Christmas!

Same.

I used one of these on a contender carbine that needed some comb height. It had a nice feel, but I have only shot it little bit and had it out hunting a couple of times.

What about mounting the scope lower. Wouldn’t that work?
If you must, moleskin to sneak up on the proper height.
Good luck,
Rick

After I used the moleskin to get the position and height I wanted,I replaced it with VHB double sided tape that I had on hand, then covered with a thin piece of suede leather.

I used some moleskin and a godagrip pad on my brother's rifle. Will it win any style awards? Absolutely not.
