Find a store that sells foam and fabric. Look for a high density foam rubber - I think it is actually neoprene...like what they use in wet suits, but thicker. It will have a smooth side - and one that is not. Cut an oversize piece - and use electrical tape to temp. place the oversize piece. Use a white lumber marking pencil - or crayon to make your outline. Remove it, put it on the surface you want to use as a cutting board - and use an exacto knife, or sharp scissors to cut your shape. Use sand paper - preferably on a wood block - to taper, and sand the rough side to it's final shape for your comfort/position. Now, Get some water based spray adhesive. Place the shaped foam where you want it on the stock, and gently put some marks with the wax pencil ( a crayon in a color you can see works well) and tape off the area, and protect the stock from overspray using plastic sheeting or newspaper as you may have. Place the stock in a gun vise - or brace it in the upright position ( as it would appear when you shoot it...not "barrel to the sky") - apply the adhesive to the smooth side of the foam - and the area of the stock where it goes. LIGHTLY. Just enough to cover the area....not running, or dripping. After waiting for the adhesive to reach "tack-free" status, start placing the foam GENTLY and CAREFULLY. When the 2 glued surfaces touch - there is NO "re-positioning" - SO - get it where you want it and be careful.
So - now, for probably less than $20 you will have achieved:
1. Proper elevation - by choosing the right thickness of foam ( allow for a little compression when choosing foam thickness)
2. Lowest weight add to the rifle.
3.COMFORTABLE cheek weld. More important with magnum calibers if you practice at a range a lot.
4.CHEAP...and replaceable. If you wanted to remove it, a plastic blade or credit card, some Goof-off, and elbow grease......
Hope this gives you another option to consider-
I like this is idea, except for putting any type of adhesive on the stock that is not easily removed, as well as the riser without destroying it. What I do very similar up to adhesive. A that point, I position the foam, than vet tape it using nice pretty camo tape. Then for added comfort, I slip a medium elastic knee brace over it. As I said earlier, Ihav elaso used alip-over cheek rest with th
