Raising comb hight on rifles

[Tom Threetoes]

We took a trio of new rifles to the range today and we need to raise the comb on a couple of them. One is an AR 15 the other is a Ruger American. I've seen folks glue foam on stocks and I've seen elastic sleeves with foam under them used to get a better cheek weld. Any suggestions?

Take a couple slices of foam (from pipe insulation or a pool noodle, cut about a inch wide and 6 long). Get some stuff called vet wrap. You can find it at Rural King or Orscheleins, 3M makes a really good variety if you can find it. Vet wrap is good because it sticks to itself but not really the rifle or you. Wrap it around the comb one time then add the appropriate amount of foam to fix your sight alignment, then keep wrapping the vet wrap until the foam is secured.

Pipe insulation and vet wrap ... inexpensive, but very, very effective and easy to replace.

Damn, Huff beat me to it ... must be playing hookey

He makes an adjustable cheek riser that fits most rifle stocks. I just ordered on for my Savage 12FV.
Will post a review once I receive it. $40 including shipping. He is also selling on Amazon.

AR........if running a collapsible stock..............swap to Magpul and snap in a higher cheekriser (did a .5" on a CTR.............worked fine).
On the Ruger American.............velcro and .080" Kydex.
Works fine on my .35 rem TC carbine
