Beartooth Comb Raising Kit 2.0 | Adjustable Cheek Rest | Increase Comfort | Reduce Recoil | Made in USA

I was dubious at first and ordered three others to try but after getting this one on my Tikka T3x it was clear I was never going to take it off. This comb covered all the bases for me so I ran with it and never looked back. Comfort - the neoprene feels good on my cheek Alignment - after cramming in the spacer, it was the PERFECT height adjustment. Ease of install - Not that easy but it was worth the effort. Performance - after a few long hikes it has never moved from where I originally set it. It’s steadfast. Noise - no Velcro, no ammo click, no swish while hiking/stalking. This comb was silent. Lefty - yea, this thing is perfect for me. It was a pain in the ass to get on (which I count as a good thing) to the rifle. Lining up the spacer perfectly took a little patience. I didnt want to remove my scope so I stretched the narrow end over the butt stock and “peeled” the wider end back over its self, down the shaft of the butt stock toward the trigger guard. That looked well except then it was inside out. Had to fiddle to make it right side in and then it was just a matter of aligning it and adding the spacer for my cheek. End product shoots just how I wanted, BIG THANKS to Beartooth for a solid product.

Pro: A good solution, lots of flexibility, good look, good price. Cons: Somewhat difficult to install. The stock on the .22 Sporter already had a raised comb, but my cheek barely touched the comb while sighting through a scope, so I certainly had no “cheek weld” for consistent shooting. After looking ay several options, I decided to try the Beartooth kit. The kit came with the advertised five different thicknesses of comb pads, ranging from 1/8 to 5/8 inch, and I suppose those could be stacked for even more height combinations. To determine the desired comb height increase, I used painter’s tape to attach a pad for testing. The 3/8 inch pad seemed to work for me with this particular rifle and scope combination. The instructions recommend initially installing the sleeve from the front of the stock, and inside out. The sleeve stretches (reluctantly) and is rubberized on the inside to hold it in place. And that rubber side absolutely hates sliding on the stock, as was intended. The key to the installation seems to be to get the sleeve rolled up over itself at the front of the comb and just behind the pistol grip (if the stock has one), then inserting the front tip of the pad under the rolled up sleeve or just behind it, and finally, unrolling the sleeve over the pad. It seemed impossible to lift the sleeve enough to insert the pad; the sleeve must be unrolled over the pad. I removed the barrel, receiver and scope to make the first part of the installation easier. While it was easier to get the inside-out sleeve into position behind the pistol grip area, I struggled to then get it rolled up over itself. I removed the sleeve and undid the inside-out step. With the sleeve now right-side out, i worked the sleeve from the front of the stock back and about half way over the pistol grip, wresting that rubberized inside every inch. I put the butt of the stock in my lap and placed the forend into a padded, lightly tightened vise to help hold the stock. I then started rolling the butt end of the sleeve back over itself, pulled the sleeve further towards the butt, rolled it back some more, until the front of the sleeve was past the pistol grip and at the start of the stock’s comb, and rolled up back over itself as much as I could. Next, I positioned the comb pad against the rolled up sleeve and began unrolling the sleeve over the pad and toward the butt of the stock, adjusting the position of the pad and the bottom seam of the sleeve as needed. On my first attempt, I did not have the pad far enough forward at the start, and the back end of it was exposed when I unrolled the sleeve, but it is fairly easy now to roll the sleeve back over itself again, reposition the pad, and unroll the sleeve again. Had I spent a little more time trying the recommended step of sliding the inside out sleeve at first, it may have worked better than my right-side out approach. It became obvious that the pad was much wider than the gun stock, and despite the tight fitting sleeve, the 3/8 inch thick pad was not smoothly blending into the sides of the stock - it was more the look of a little umbrella over the top of the stock. Okay, one obvious solution is to cut the pad into a much more narrow piece, perhaps even cutting the sides on an angle to better blend the pad and sleeve with the stock. However… In my second attempt to better position the pad, the pad was correctly positioned, but the seam was not. After wrestling the rubberized inside of the sleeve to align the seam with the bottom of the stock, the pad had now slid over to the left side of the stock. There was still enough of the pad on top that I decided to reassemble the gun and check the pad for the desired comb height with the scope before further adjustment of the pad. I found that the height of the pad was correct, and with the pad offset to the left side, it also provided a bonus “cheek piece” to help with the left-right eye alignment with the scope. Cool! Stocks with built-in cheek pieces are normally found only on higher end guns. While I have yet to test this set up at the range, this Beartooth comb kit certainly seems to have provided a simple, effective way for improving cheek weld for much more consistent shooting. This kit solves a real problem, provides lots of flexibility, is reasonably priced, and does not require permanent alterations. While a walnut stock looks prettier, this sleeve does not look ugly either. For these reasons I will give this product five stars despite the installation effort - the end results are worth it.

I really wanted to like it, but the foam pads are a dealbreaker, and unusable. The superior materials and exceptional workmanship make it a shame the foam has harsh corners, instead of a radius, as on every buttstock or riser I have ever seen. The foam is well chosen for density, but is too wide, and not rounded. I had hoped and assumed the foam would conform somewhat, but it was minimal. It didn't help I was trying to raise a Choate comb a full inch. The ordeal and disappointment convinced me to return to the Hogue stock, in which the comb is only ½" low. I have only returned 2 items in thousands of Amazon purchases, and this sleeve will not be the third time. I take great pride in making educated purchases, and take my lumps when I err. I had read the worthwhile reviews, and suspected the foam was inadequate/inappropriate/inelegant. When the low comb on the Hogue stock starts annoying me, I will consider some ½" radiused foam with this sleeve, or possibly a kydex style cheek rest on the Choate stock. A comb raising 'kit' is more enticing to buyers than a sleeve requiring you to BYOFoam, but Beartooth should probably buy the equipment to furnish radiused foam shims with this kit. Judged solely on the sleeve, it is handsome, impeccably crafted, and the best of its kind in the world. The Realtree Edge, with the grays, feldgraus, and tans look brilliant on on an otherwise homely monochromatic black synthetic stock, and contributes to the disappointment, but also the desire to obtain an appropriate foam shim/riser. UPDATE: I installed on a Hogue stock with the ½" foam piece. I am pleased except the overly wide foam moves me laterally away from good alignment with the scope. The foam has conformed, to a degree, but the project would have been brilliant with contoured foam. The gigantic sling swivel stud hole is somewhat misplaced for my application, but such can be expected on a 'one size fits most' proposition. This Ruger Ranch rifle was furnished with high rings to clear the peep sight, and I cannot find a folding rear sight to replace it with. The Beartooth comb riser sleeve kit provides the rise I needed, though the wide width is slightly awkward. It is an ordeal to install, particularly with arthritic hands, particularly the thumbs. I am certain I am capable of tearing a seam or edge, but long ago learned how to distribute force over a broader area, and rely on leverage and positioning, rather than brute strength. 4 stars, because the foam is too wide and noncontoured.

There’s no way around it but you’ll have to remove you scope to get it on. It’s a snug fit so be ready for a fit, but it’s not going anywhere once it’s on. Savage 110 trail hunter with hogue stock.

I really debated on how to rate the Beartooth comb riser. If you are only using one pad or two and follow the directions, installation is fairly easy. On the other hand, if you're trying to get a major rise impact using 3 pads you'll be in for a real battle. I converted a Remington Versamax shotgun that shot left at 40 yds due to manufacturing issues into an extreme turkey gun by installing an Sig tactical green dot meaning I needed about a 1 1/2' rise for proper cheek contact. Now as a power lifter with 7 state records, I'm not exactly a wimp, but it took me over an hour of extreme pulling to cover all three pads. I ended up removing some skin from my fingers but eventually got this thing fitted. I admit the result is excellent and now I have pin point accuracy with this shotgun and I am really excited to use it this fall. That said, Beartooth needs a better way to slide the neoprene back over the riser pads as the rubber backing of the sleeve making contact with the pads will not allow easy movement. I recommend a thin slippery nylon insert cut to the dimensions of the pads to allow the sleeve to slide easier. I'll give Beartooth credit for one thing for sure, this sleeve is really tough and well stitched. I literally used some significant pulling force to get this thing on and the neoprene and seams all held up. All this to say that with an improved method for installation over multiple pads, this sleeve would be a 5 star tool. It really has solved my issue for a high rise on the shotgun comb and now I have a true turkey killer shotgun.

It was a bit tough to get on amd get the correct spacer in and in the perfect spot, but ince it's setup it stays. This helped me to get my rifle to fit me perfectly and get my eye aligned with my stock and optic. It also gives you extra cartridge holders wirh out having to pack extra pouches or holders .

I was stunned with how simple and effective the Beartooth Cheek Riser Kit 2.0 is. Simple, cheap, and does not require drilling holes in the rifle stock. It does require some hand strength, patience, and perseverance, but it is amazing once you have the sleeve and riser pad in place. It is not a five minute job, but can be done in less than 30 minutes with a little practice. I used the CRK sleeve with a foam pad from the Gueevin 6 Piece Foam Riser Kit to find the best cheek height and fit. I've purchased three and am ordering another. These are for Ruger 77/17 rifles. I was looking for a way to raise the comb of the stocks without having to alter the stock. The CRK 2.0 is the solution! Tip: remove the barreled action from the rifle stock to slip the sleeve and pad in place.

Purchased for a tactical shotgun with a reflex sight. The comb of the stock was too low to see the reflex reticle. It was promised to be delivered between the 22nd and 29th of December. It arrived on the 22nd. It took about a half hour to install - it takes some effort to get it on the stock. I did not follow the instructions that called for the Beartooth to be pulled on from the butt end. Instead, I took off the reflex sight and taped over the sharp edges of the rail, then pulled the Beartooth on from the barrel end. I did it because I didn't think the small front of the Beartooth would fit over the butt. I think this was the easiest way to do it. I used two of the foam inserts to get the right eye level. Now when the shotgun is brought up to the shoulder, the reticle is right where it should be. After shooting 30 rounds, I expected some movement. And, there was some. The Beartooth pulled forward a little, maybe about 1/4 inch and the inserts move a little. But, it was not a problem, because the inserts are easy to readjust and the Beartooth can be pulled back into postion easily as well. The only reason I did not give 4 star is that I don't know how long the Beartooth will last over time or how it will do if it gets wet. All in all it is a good product. While it is not a permanent solution, it does what they claim. One other advantage of this "temporary" solution is when I took the reflex sight off and installed the iron sight, all I had to do is push inserts a little to the side and I was able to get in the right position to align the sight.
