I thought I would share a simple diy cheek riser I discovered today. So before I get into here's a little back story.
I recieved a scope yesterday and in my excitment to mount it I didnt realize it would not fit in the 1 piece mount already on my crosman phantom. So I had to reinstall the old scope. When I had first installed my old scope a long time ago I installed it a little too far forward. This created an issue with eye relief plus the comb height just wasn't enough to get a good cheek weld. This resulted in an extremely uncomfortable shooting position that I dealt with for awhile because I was too lazy to adjust the scope.
So when I remounted my scope today I took my time and set the scope furthur back. Thus fixed the eye relief issue but I still had a problem with the comb height. I shopped around for cheek risers but they were all more than I wanted to pay and would require drilling my stock. But I stumbled on an article for a diy. I changed it up a little bit but alot of you guys will probably have this stuff laying around.
What you need:
Foam bed mat
Wrist wrap.
I cut a 1 inch wide strip off of the bed mat and then cut it into strips about 4 inched long.
At that point i stacked them until I had the perfect height, taped them together and wrapped them tightly to the stock so they wouldnt move. Now I have perfect eye relief and cheek weld.
It isnt the best looking riser but it is comfortable and doesnt damage the rifle in any way.
Sorry for such a long post hope this helps some people out!
