Cheek Risers

[Handymike]

Morning Folks Small dilemma for me and I hope to get good info from you.
Recently changed old scope ( 1970s era ) for new 50mil bell scope. Had to mount it quite a bit higher and so POI really changed. Was told to get an adjustable cheek riser for rifle to raise my line of sight up. Makes sense to me but need advice. I want good quality but this is for hunting rifle so also rugged. Any thoughts?

I've ordered several risers from him over the last few years and they are top notch.

Put those on three rifle for the kids. They work good. The other thought was a Boyd's all AT ONE stock.

Triad Tactical also has some options if you are trying to stay away from modifying your stock.

I use the Triad Tactical mentioned above. They come with multiple riser adjustment segments. They lock onto the stock well with velcro straps. Also easy to take on and off for gun cleaning. I also like the version that has internal storage for ammo.

I use one similar to that and so far it one of the better risers I have used.

I have one of those Beartooth kits, version 1.0 but haven't used it yet. I made a homemade version with a neoprene cartridge holder for the stock and just stuffed blue foam camping pad under the top of it. I see BT makes exactly the same thing now.

Black Hawk makes a removable pad that is very comfortable. I use it on some older stocks that lack the cheek riser. It's like 25 bucks on amazon.. super easy to install

Run that 50mm objective thru a 40-44mm die.

Put the resized scope in Talley low, lightweight mounts.

Problem solved.

In practical hunting use I've not seen measurable or meaningful improvements going beyond "traditional" sizes in scope objective lenses. I have seen such up-sizing create negative, unintended consequences.

just the improved light transmission, nothing really of an improvement when hunting....

The objective size also means normally a larger tube, which will also improve the amount of tracking you get (scope adjustments) guess these improvements aren't needed. and don't use Talley rings...
