[QUOTE="edge, post: 1132965, member: 5030"] This is probably a dumb idea, but I have a problem with proper check weld and feel I am in a different spot for almost every shot. Actually I know I am because of the reticle never appears to be in the same place! I have a Savage synthetic stock with medium high rings. What I am thinking is to find what feels best with the reticle centered and have someone mark the stock where my face hits. Then grind out an area so that it is slightly concave for my face and use Bondo or something to almost make an impression of my cheek and cover that with moleskin or something. It seems as though if I have a "pocket" for my face/cheek the rifle would always have to be the same and I should be able to get perfect alignment by feel. Is this a crazy idea, I just don't get to shoot enough for it to be second nature? As a side note without a scope my shotgun always comes up like it is part of me and I get a perfect sight picture every time! thanks in advance, edge. [/QUOTE]
