So I need a little extra height on my new rifles stock. Don't want a stock pack. Anybody know of an adhesive cheek piece that is around 1/4"? Thinking something like neoprene maybe.

On a few of my rifles, I have cut up a soft mouse pad and glued it to the stock (also did one with Velcro glued to each side, soft side on rifle). Different pads=different height.

You can cut/shape it anyway you want.

Another option would be to find someone dumping a warn out wet suit and cut a hunk off that....

the mouse pad idea is great ! Brownells sells 1/4" & 1/8" pads just for this application (or they used to anyway) If you find them I'd add some adhesive around the edges if you intend it to be "permanent" - I really like the ones with the pouch on the off side but my neck's too short, dammit

I haven't looked into the availibility of it, but it seems like heat-shrink tubing that was large enough to slip over the stock would be ideal for this. Make a custom pad/riser from whatever you want, attach it with the heat-shrink, and its weatherproof, no worries about the adhesive failing or leaving residue on the stock, and its quickly removable with a razor blade. Not ideal on wood stocks due to the possibility of it holding moisture obviously.

i do the cut up mousepad thing as well and use mcnetts camo form to wrap the stock and hold it in place.

Closed cell foam of your desired thickness, held on with vet wrap. The vet wrap sticks to itself, and can be taken off/reused multiple times. Definitely an inexpensive alternative.

Great stuff for first aid (obviously). Having that wrapped around the stock would be very useful if a situation went south. Heck use an absorbing dressing as the pad underneath and your first aid kit is now your cheek pad. Ha Ha
