Hey guys,

 

I'm looking for a minimalist cheek riser for my Ruger Scout Rifle.  I'm not into the Karsten style, nor am I into the add-on pouches.  I bought an Accu-Riser,  but I would prefer to just have the rubber top piece over the edge that would screw into the top of the stock.  The channel isn't wide nearly enough, so it won't stay in place without drilling holes thru the top..  Any clean looking DIY projects?

Here's a stock photo.  I'd prefer something that didn't protrude down the sides nearly as far.  I could trim it, but I'm not sure how clean I could make the cuts.  I was thinking of buying u-channel shaped rubber, but I couldn't find anything in the right size.

i saw some great videos on youtube with using Kydex. You can actually heat it and mold it, but it was for the style above.

idk where you looked but they may have some other stuff here for you, mcmaster has everything.

 

PS i love the rubber channel idea!

Look for Boat rub rail molding. A piece of that may be exactly what you're looking for. Check West Marine, or Overtons. Maybe even stop by a local marina see if they have a scrap laying around.

Good input.  I'm going to look into the boat rub-rail.

how about like the Lee Enfield Sniper cheek rest.  Sarco had them for $20 and stain to match the stock. 

For my mosin.  unfortunately it needs to be removed to remove the bolt.

 

Made from a piece of poplar routed to round all edges and with brass sleeve bushings used as standoffs.  I painted it black later and like that look better.

 

One of these should look great on your gun.  Just run the last lace behind swivel stud and it keeps it in place.

I have two or three of these.  They're challenging to get positioned and locked in nice and tight with the cord supplied.  Once locked in though, they work and will give you a good rise.  They're not "really comfortable", the foam rectangle is stiff and the nylon covering is rather rough.
