[QUOTE="Comanche41, post: 2965431, member: 118547"] I've been through this dilemma with several rifles. It all started when I went to 30mm tubes and large objective lenses, so if you really don't need an objective over 42mm or the 30 mm tube, save yourself a lot of grief and use the 1" scopes with lower rings. That said, I tried all kinds of cheek risers, Bradley, Titan, Beartooth, home made, the strap on types. The most comfortable and best one I got was the Accu-riser. Most of the others caused left-right misalignment, usually ending with me having to push my face into the stock, resulting in some erratic groups at long range. Another thing you may want to take a look at is your body position behind the rifle. I have been shooting for somewhere above 60 years and was always a "pretty good" shot. The rifle was generally close to parallel with my shoulders. I found that I was putting pressure on the stock to get my eye aligned, which caused a slight shift right as the trigger tripped. I found that putting the rifle more perpendicular to my shoulders and putting the butt in the pocket between the shoulder and the pectoral allowed me to just lower my head to the stock and my eye was aligned left-right without putting pressure on the stock.
