Cheek Risers | General Discussion | M1A Forum

I'm not sure if this is the right group in the forum but it's the closest one that came up in the search options.

I want to know if anyone has any experience with the poly-molded adjustable cheek riser. I have my scope mount and rings at the position I think will suite me and I'm now ready to add some sort of cheek rest. There are a variety on the market but one that caught my attention is this one. No. 1- It's weather proof and 2- it's quickly adjusted with a couple of turns of the knurled knobs.

Here's a file image of one on a wood stock. I plan on installing on my synthetic stock

if I get positive feedback. Anyone?

I have one on my SOCOM 16, it works beautifully.  It was easy to install, and I can easily transition between my scope, reflex site, and iron sites.  My stock is synthetic as well. I tried other ones, like the strap on ones and the sleeves with insert and didn't like them.  I had to adjust them each time I fired.

Thanks….I waited so long for a relpy from the group that I've already ordered it and received it. Now I'm just waiting on my stock to get back from Springfield from having some work done and I can install it. I was pretty sure the feedback was going to be positive but as before, thanks for the review.

I got the Karsten Cheek Rest found here: http://karstenskydexcheekrest.com/

All the guys on SH seem to love it. My friend also has it on his 700 and feels great. There are videos all over the place on hot to install it on the M1a.

The model A seems to fit what you're needing. I went with the C because I don't feel the need to make many adjustments after installing it. I'll probably end up getting the A for my 700 in the near future.

That looks like a good alternative to some of those big ones that make your M1A look like the hunchback of Notre Dame.

How well does it function, not being mounted permanently?
