Alpha Mule Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Ladies and gentlemen, I'm looking for options on a riser for my Tikka T3 Lite. My cheek is about the width of my thumb knuckle above the butt. I reckon I could do a bit better consistency if I could get a good cheek weld, as it is I'm using my jaw, which is less than ideal. I'm getting this on my CZ style LR and Silhouette HMR too. I'm not very flush, so if I can find something that will be transportable between the rifles or better get 3 of them - would be ideal. I've seen some stuff made from carbon fibre (Bradley), which looks nice, but the price tag doesn't. I'm also a bit reluctant to start drilling holes in my most favorite toys, so attachment via straps etc. would be preferable. I have one of those butt-sock things with a bag on the outside for extra rounds with a velcro strip to hold either carts or rounds on the outside of that, which I have padded with foam and doesn't really work (other than being handy for my ancient single barrel Baikal 12g). Options and opinions are requested, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisv Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Don't forget that the T3 comes in at least two other variations, Varmint and Tactical. My Varmint was a standard stock with extras screwed on. If you have a word with a stockist, they may be able to get the cheek piece for you to fit straight on. Some factory parts are surprisingly cheap, and some aren't! Worth a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisv Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Go to tikka.fi There are pictures of all T3 models, the Varmint and Super Varmint are the ones I would look at. You can see that the Varmint one just slips on top of the standard stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb79 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I know you've tried the Velcro cheek piece, but you could try a Beartooth comb raiser kit. Foam inserts in a neoprene sleeve. I use them for shotgun coaching but might work for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman91 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 http://www.ukmcpro.co.uk/equipment/weapon-accessories/weapon-slings/blackhawk-rifle-cheek-pad-detail.html Something like this. Doesn't look amazing but not permanent and cheap enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
