Because of a macular hole in my right eye I've had to switch to my left for shooting. A problem is that shooting left-handed there is little or no contact with my face on the stock. Most of my stocks have a cheekpiece on the left side for right-handed shooting. On a recent antelope hunt I improvised with duct tape and a piece of foam but it was ugly as sin.

A solution might be a leather strap-on cheekpiece that I could move from rifle to rifle. Do any of you people know of a quality leatherworker who could come up with something appropriate? I have made most of my stocks myself of good-looking wood and hate to clutter them up with duct tape.

These guys make a left-handed leather cheekpiece

Thanks, Frank. A little bulky but maybe I could trim it down.

You could make something yourself.

If looks are really important, get some similar-looking walnut and a shape-following tool, trace out and cut/gouge the combe shape and stick it on with double-sided tape - or glue if you want to keep it there.

I had a high scope on a sporterised Mauser 50 years ago and found parallax a problem. A buddy who retreaded tires for a living moulded some rubber over a pine dummy of the combe and I upholstered it with leather sewn on with a Myers(?) reeled awl. It worked a treat and never smacked me in the chops.

Damn, I must have been shooting all wrong over the last 6+ decades I have been hunting as a lefty using right handed rifles and shotguns all my life. I can pick up any rifle or shotgun and shoot with the best of them, not once have I used a left handed gun or any gun with a cheek piece on the righthand side of the stock.

Only LH gun I have now is a semi auto shotgun for more convenient operation when shooting from a laydown blind, my O/U gun is a bit hard to load when laying down.

Only RH rifles I can't use are those with the silly roll over comb which presents a sharp edge to a LH user e.g. the BSA CF2 rifle was one of the culprits.
