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.
 
Blue closed cell foam pad and some moleskin is what I used, cut the pad in strips

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
