Michael MichalskiWhere Can I Get a pad for cheek weld?
Clumsily worded question but let me explain. I have a 700 Varmint .223 with a thumb-hole, laminated stock. Nice gun and I like it for 200 yard bench rest (informal). Recently added a Vortex 15x60-52 with rings high enough to accommodate the 52 bell. Problem is no cheek weld. At my age some cheek weld is necessary. In the past I have seen rubber like stick on pads of various thicknesses but don't know (or remember

) where. Lots of words to ask: where can I get these pads?

BobsterSearch "cheek riser" on Ebay. Tons of them in leather and fabric. Stick-ons too.

Peter ConnanI think PAST used to make the stick-on pads that I believe you are referring to.
Not sure if they are still around?
