Cheek Rest Padding

[photog_shooter]

Do you guys add any padding/cushion to the cheek rests on your chassis? If so what do you use and how do you attach it? I'm talking about the adjustable cheek rest of a chassis, not a traditional butt stock.

I use the Pachmayr PacSkin on my adjustable cheek risers. It provides a softer feel than rigid plastic, so it is a win for me.

Wiebad makes a mini stock pad, pricey to get but works well.

I use the wiebad stock pads on a couple of my guns well worth the money

Anyone know where in Canada you can get wiebad? Checked their site and was $77 shipping ouch.

I used a black neoprene type mouse pad, cut it to fit the Cadex cheekriser and glued it on with industrial spray glue. Works great.

Ha ! Skullboy and I obviously went to the same gunsmith school I Use the mouse pad method and also have used simple foam (pipe insulation) covered with tape - not overly pretty but works just great.

Craft stores sell adhesive backed, thin foam for like 99 cents per sheet. That's what I use.

I've done the roll bar pad and hockey tape, the old mouse pad, the wide foam weather stripping too, sometimes even go crazy and cut the ankle part off a new sock to cover it, all work very well. I just thought maybe I'd get a bit fancier this time with it and treat myself to a overpriced commercial built pad that will work no better but look good doing it lol.

Haha your comment is awesome! I'm cheap though so I'll probably go for the DIY type deal.

My Savage MkII has a mouse pad cheek pad wrapped in duct tape. Definitely not a safe queen!

Anschutz Cheek Piece Cover, $7.50

Nylon 2 side neoprene wet suit material works well. It comes in many thicknesses. You can cut it to any shape and then paint the edges with contact cement to give it a really professional looking finish, then glue it to the stock with contact cement.

Well I broke down and ordered a overpriced commercial pad, bought direct from Wiebad, emailed them and USPS shipping $11, and few hrs later they sent me a tracking number, so I'll chaulk up most of the cost to their awesome customer service, emailed them got immediate response, paid, shipped, tracking all in a few hours.

There is no damn way my old mouse pad can be as good, so I'm saving the hockey tape for another day LOL.

When it's very cold and my cheek is freezing on the cheek rest I drape my toque over it.

So either your cheek freezes or your head does! Tough call...

Bare head with head set over ears is a lot easier to take then a bare cheek pressed down on a -20 degree chunk of fiberglass.
