If you’re like me and have sensitive baby cheeks, then you probably don’t like hard, slick cheek pieces either. Cold in the winter, slick and slippery in the summer......just plain uncomfortable. Here’s a couple of options to alleviate this.
First is marketed by Kick-Eez under the product name of Cheek-Eez. It’s a pad of Sorbothane with a self-adhesive back, available in thicknesses of 1/16”, 1/8”, 3/16”, and 1/4”. Degrease the area where it will be affixed, cut to size/shape (if necessary), and stick on your stock. Voila!
Pros: Cheap, easy to use, and super comfy
Cons: If it’s on your stock for several years, when you go to remove it it tends to come apart in pieces and the adhesive backing stays on your stock. Also, it tends to soak up cleaning solvents and the like. If you’re gonna use, buy a few, and change often.

Trying something new, as the pic below shows. Instead of the Sorbothane, I used a piece of “industrial grade” Velcro; the soft “loop” part and not the hard “hook” part. Prepped the surface and Velcro like above, and stuck it on. The Sorbothane is a little more comfortable, but I think the Velcro may work better in the long run. I know it sticks to surfaces very sturdily (I’ve used it to hang fire extinguishers), but isn’t near as difficult to remove as the Sorbothane. I could even wash it if need be, while it’s still on the rifle.
Of course, these options aren’t for raising the cheekweld, although the 1/4” Sorbothane works well if you need a very minor lift. They are just for comfort, although having a good purchase for my cheek on the rifle, where it isn’t slipping in the sweat, helps my accuracy.
