Homemade rifle cheek riser

I thought Id share a little experiment I've taken on. If this has been done before by someone on here my bad for being repetitive.
If it hasn't, maybe this will be a good use for some old rubbermade stocks piled up in the corner. I'm converting an old plastic stock into a lightweight walking hunter but I wanted a little more elevation off the comb of this rifle. After looking at other guns with risers attached I got to thinking, wonder if I could use the hollow stock off of a junker plastic stock to make the piece I need? So I went to the chop saw and here's how it started:

After that I put the top piece over the existing stock to see how it fit. It slid over and is very tight. When I shouldered the rifle it felt really good. I plan to clean of the edges and close in the ends before painting. I'm still working through how I plan to attach to the stock. (as you can also see the stock just got bedded this morning) Stay tuned on the end product, I'll post those pics too

Good idea. I will keep it in mind for the future.

Nifty idea! If you are going to install bolts like a Karstens cheek piece, you might wanna install some sleeves through the stock to keep it from squishing down. Some arrow shafting or even copper tubing would work.

If you haven't installed it yet, make sure you can remove the bolt with it in place. The first one I did I messed up. Looks good!

Cool.nice job!

Well that's a neat idea to use up surplus stuff! Thanks for sharing.

That reminds me of what I saw at the range twice. One of our shooters with a large chunk of foam rubber and some duck tape.
Twice. Yes, he was adding on a cheek rest.

What I'm trying to decide next is how to attach it. I don't really want knobs out one side. Need to spend some time in a good hardware looking for the right bolt/ sleeve combination
