Cheek rest for a B&C medalist

[donshaw]

I just ordered a B&C medalist for my 10fp.

What is a good cheek rest to get and where should I buy it?

Thx

Anyone ever try Rat Pads to mold to their cheek combs for additional height?

Spotted the stuff in my Brownell's catalog...looks interesting if you don't want a pouch and ammo carrier on your stock. http://www.ratgrips.com/default.asp

The comb on the Medalist A2 is already higher than most traditional stocks. I only needed about 1/2" to get the comb high enough. I put a Karsten on mine.

If fits great. However the already wide buttstock is now wider due to the width of the cheekpiece. It is very sturdy, but it has taken me a little while to get used to the extra width of the buttostock and cheekpiece. I alos put a Karsten on my Hogue stock (which was thinner) and like it alot as well.

There are many other options out there to choose from.

I think some use the Eagle stock pack. You will probably only need 1/2 to 3/4" of extra height even with a 50mm scope. If you go 40mm, you might not even need any additional height if you use low or medium rings.

Personally I would wait until you have the scope mounted to determine how much height you need to add and then choose the best option to get you there.
