Beartooth Comb Raising Kit

[flytie]

I find it unusual to find rifle stocks which fit me so that the comb is just the right height. Now it might just be my age and failing eyesight, but I find it better if my eye drops straight onto the scope and I'm not moving my head about to find a position where everything lines up perfectly.

My PSE stock is damned near perfect, and yes I know Edi does adjustable ones but mine is the only one he's ever made for a Sako 75 III action and I love it, so I bought a Beartooth Comb Raising Kit and would just like to say it is well worth a look at.

It's relatively easy to pull the neoprene sock over the barrel and onto the stock (inside out) and to slide in the requisite foam pad of the 5 provided, then pulling the neoprene sock back over the pad so it's the right way out. It took me a couple of minutes to fiddle everything straight and wrinkle free but the whole operation took me less than 10 minutes, including reading the instructions.

As my cheek hits the stock now my eye is now perfectly lined up on the ocular lens of the scope when I shoulder the rifle. I think it's well worth £25.95, but obviously only time will tell if it's durable, but it does look well made.

Yup I use one on my HMR.
Basically, imho, most people do not spend sufficient time getting the correct cheek and head alignment for a rifle. It was someone on here, who pointed out to me that my head was doing a yo-yo impression trying to get everything to line up correctly. Which then sent me on a long fulfilled adventure to determine the fit of my rifle.

The above is a good piece of kit to use.

Been look at getting beartooth riser for my t3x. I have very similar set up to the photo above with picatinny rail and s&b scope. How has the durability been?

Unless the quality has been compromised since I bought mine, they’re certainly durable - had one on a stock for getting on for 15 years now. Mine didn’t have the opening for the sling stud so I made a small cut at 90 degrees to the line of the stock so it stuck out enough to get the sling swivel on.

Just fitted one to a Ruger 10/22 takedown, wondering while I did it, why are rifle stocks seemingly just made for open sights?

Tradition, probably. 40s, 50s and 60s when most rifles had iron sights as stock and scopes had to be mounted by a gunsmith, the stock design was perfect.
As things progressed, the standard hunting set up never really changed to accommodate a scope, it was all just kept the same, except iron sights were dropped from the 'factory set up'.
You really only saw the long range and target set ups with synthetic stocks starting to incorporate raised combs to bring the eye up to the scope.

It's been great so far.
