Cheek riser suggestions

sgt_zim · Apr 25, 2017

I've got some pretty high cheekbones, so even with 40 mm scopes and very low mounts, I'm still too low.

I'm looking for something that will strap on to my Tikka hunter and my Marlin.

Also, I'm a lefty, so I don't fancy laying my face on a row of extra cartridges.

Take a look at the Bradley adjustable.

I have a Beartooth with cartridge loops, but you can get one without loops. It's height is adjusted by the various inserts provided in the kit. It is quite comfortable.

Shotgun shooters often use stick on neoprene cheek riser which come in a variety of thicknesses

I have used a shell holder and pieces of mouse pad in the past to solve this problem not pretty but it worked for about 8-10 years.

Good video on scope alignment and homemade cheek riser.

Straight tube scope + low rings and you'll be perfect without the comb riser

This might work for you. And give the owner a call directly with questions.

I got a nice adjustable comb riser as part of the SAMM Safari shooting school. They teach you how to use it and adjust it for a perfect fit. I don't need it on most of my guns but it is a great product. I'm sure you could call them and order one.

The Beartooth is good but there is one I like much better. It's called the ISIS Contoured Comb Raiser.

I'm guessing they named it "ISIS" several years ago, before the same name became synonymous with a terrorist organization. It does look like a good product though.

I wish. On my Tikka, using their factory rings (which mount directly to a milled-into-receiver dovetail) and a 40mm, 1" scope, it's still too high by probably a half inch.

I'm here in Africa with my hunting partner. I replaced his Tikka t3 mounts with Talley QD allow rings and mount and it is the lowest possible config for that rifle and works with a 40mm scope.

I ordered a Bradley and a Beartooth.

Thanks everyone.
