[QUOTE="bpcrshooter, post: 1937305, member: 100251"] Would say you get so many different answers because, there are so many different types of faces out there. What should be important is that it feels comfortable to you, and that you can do it the same.....every time. you dont want to be pushing so hard that when the gun goes off it hits your cheek like a hammer. if you shoot prone you will most likely put more pressure than if your shooting off the bench, and even less when you shoot off-hand. get a level on your scope if you dont have one, level the gun on the rest in your most used position, then adjust your stock accordingly. If you cant adjust your stock, you may have to choose different height scope rings or adjust cheek weld for that rifle. Not having the same weld every time will affect impact as you are looking thru the scope differently. You will also absorb recoil differently as your body isnt in the same position every time. If its a wood stock you can sand it down. there are people out there who could possibly add an adjustable comb to your rifle, if need be. [/QUOTE]
