[QUOTE="Nimrodmar10, post: 874794, member: 36369"] Forty-something years ago, my Marine PMI constantly said "Wood on wood ladies." Constantly. He seemed to think that a solid cheek weld was very important. The lesson stuck. My cheek weld is solid enough that I normally give the stock a good thump with my cheek to settle it into the rear bag just before I use the other piece of advice drilled into my brain by that DI: BRASS, Breath, Relax, Aim, Slack, Squeeze.I wrote that one on the base of my thumb so it would be the last thing I'd see when I laid my cheek on the stock. My problem is that almost none of the factory hunting stocks have a comb high enough to get a solid cheek weld and have your eye lined up with the scope, especially a quality long range scope on high mounts. I have to put some type of riser on all my hunting rifles. [/QUOTE]
