Anyone have good luck with a specific cheek riser for their hunting rifle(s)?
I just got a Seekins 300 WM and I’m about 3/4” too low. Prefer not to drill the stock. Something light weight and not very bulky.

Thanks!

I know you said you'd prefer not to drill the stock but I have numerous kydex adj. cheek risers on stocks and they have always worked great. They're inexpensive, super easy to install, they weigh next to nothing, they're easy to adjust are rock solid and stay put once set and tightened and most importantly they work really well. I have them on all my HS Prec stocks, one on a Tikka factory stock and I even put one on a CZ 527 wood stock, all of them worked great. My daughter was a little worried about installing one on her Tikka by herself but I kept telling her it was an easy peasy deal so she went for it and installed it herself. After she got it done she couldn't believe how easy it was.

Thank you! I’ll have to check it out.

I've never used them and know nothing about them other then what they claim on their website but this place has Kydex cheek rest that are held in place by velcro. I'm not sure how solid they are but they claim they're solid and it's a no drill option for you.

I have used this cheek riser on a couple rifles and instead of drilling the stock I wrap it tight with vet wrap and it doesn’t move and no holes in the stock

Might want to take a look at ITC strap on cheek risers. They have a web site. Reasonably priced, work fine. I have three of them on three of my rifles.

the beartooth neoprene shell holders work great.
I've been using one for quite a while. I just took a chunk on Styrofoam shaped it how I wanted it and taped it to the stock and slid the neoprene cover over and good to go.

I second the Beartooth sleeve/riser. I just put one on my Fieldcraft. I used a grinding wheel to shape the foam that came with it and put in a nice negative comb.

Edit to add: It’s a tight fit. Hold onto your gun tight when installing. Dropped the gun on top of my bare foot and may have broken a metatarsal 🤦🏻‍♂️

I have tried numerous variations of cheek risers over the years. I really like the one I got from Mountain Tactical. Installing the riser does require drilling but it was really simple to do. If I can do it, anyone can do it. By adding the cheek riser and vertical grip, I fixed all the ergonomic issues I had and saved the money I was thinking about spending on an MDT HNT26. Based on a measurement mistake on my part, I had to do a return for a scope mount and found their customer service to be top notch.

Yoga mat and tape. Ugly. Functional. Cheap.
Basically this. But get a garden kneeling mat for a 3/4" and use vetwrap, no sticky residue and you can pull it really tight so the foam doesn't slip, there's even camo vetwrap if that's your style. I've done this to a savage 99 that I didn't want to damage the original stock and get a good cheek weld.
