Cheek riser

[mando-gunner-89]

So my coyote build that I've finished is a really good shooter, but I can't get a good cheek weld on the magpul now rifle stock with the Bushnell Banner xlt scope. The scope is currently sitting as low as it can in the rifle, and to properly look through the glass I have to put my chin on the stock. Now I'm no expert on scopes but this just feels weird. Does anyone have any idea on what kind of cheek riser I can use for the most rifle stock since it is an odd shape from normal fixed stocks?

Here is a picture of the current setup.

If you want a non-marring and easily reversible solution, you can follow this guide from luckygunner.

Black insulating foam for pipes can be used instead the foam pad the site recommends.

You can also buy cheek pads like the ones from Blackhawk tactical. No sense in buying a new expensive stock when you already got an expensive one on it.

Its not pretty, but it works. I've done it myself.

Take a section of closed cell pipe insulation and slip the split it over the top of the stock. use some tape to hold it in place.

Kinda like this:

Sometimes it doesn't matter if it looks pretty, as long as it's functional.

I just want to mention that closed cell is important if your rifle (or the foam) may get wet...

Your scope doesn't look any higher than carry handle irons. Just an observation.

Pipe insulation and athletic wrap, I have that setup on both of our 22's for Appleseed/Reveres Riders. It works great, and I haven't had anything move on me. My son and I just completed our first AR build, with a setup very similar to yours. I noticed the same issue, I had to go with a chin weld rather than a cheek weld, so we will probably be doing the same thing on it.
