Shop cheek risers at No Boring Guns for improved rifle ergonomics and optic alignment. Cheek risers solve a common problem when mounting modern optics – the higher sight line requires proper head position for consistent eye relief and comfortable shooting.
Cheek risers add height between your face and the rifle stock, compensating for elevated optics. Most designs attach to existing stocks through straps, adhesive, or integrated adjustment systems. Fixed models provide a set height increase, while adjustable versions allow tuning for different optic heights or multiple shooters.
Choosing the Right Cheek Riser
Height Requirements
Required riser height depends on optic mounting height above the bore. Low-mounted red dots need minimal lift, while high-mounted scopes with large objective lenses demand substantial height increase. Adjustable models handle multiple configurations, particularly useful when switching between different optics. Fixed-height risers work well for dedicated setups that never change. Test fit considerations matter – the riser should bring your eye naturally to the optic centerline without forcing your head up or down.
Attachment Method
Strap-on models work with most stock shapes and allow quick removal. Elastic or hook-and-loop straps secure the riser without permanent modification. Adhesive-backed foam sticks directly to the stock for a cleaner profile but commits to placement. Adjustable comb systems built into aftermarket stocks provide the most precise tuning through mechanical adjustment, though they require stock replacement rather than simple addition.
Material Durability
Recoil management influences material choice. Lightweight calibers tolerate softer foam risers, while heavy-recoiling rifles benefit from rigid polymer construction that resists compression and maintains position. Weather resistance matters for field use – closed-cell foam and molded polymers shed moisture better than open-cell foam that absorbs water. Textured surfaces prevent slippage from facial oils and environmental moisture.
