Beartooth Comb Raising Kit 2.0 | Improve Accuracy | Neoprene | Reduce Recoil | Made in USA

Surprisingly well made, strong material and able to handle stretching when installing. really not that hard to install as some have said. I installed it on 500 SKB / Ithaca over under shotgun, I'm 82 years young.

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.

Really close to giving 4 stars but a couple minor issues. 1. A little tough to install but fairly stable once in position. 2. Use the right height pad the first time as it’s a challenge to change later. Needs adjustment side-to-side on occasion. Overall, great value for the money and works well.Recommendation: draw string on the bottom that would tighten the entire length after installation (like bike shoes with single pull and string lock)

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.

Good concept, but it wasn’t thought out very well. The neoprene is nice. It stretches well and grips fairly well. It is comfortable on the face and solved the need for a higher cheek weld. The problems that could easily be fixed are as follows. The foam pieces are cut to some odd oval that doesn’t fit well on the top of a stock. They conformed a little, but left wrinkles all over the sides of the cover. I ordered a set of EVA cheek risers from another company that are rounded on top and bottom. I used a belt sander to bevel the ends at 45 degrees and it fit much better. The hole for the sling stud was way too long and gapes open. Lastly, the shell loops follow the angled bottom of the stock instead of the top, which would keep them level and look a lot better.

The Beartooth Cheek Riser kit is perfect for my Tikka T3X Lite. I was considering one of the kits that require drilling, but I opted for this instead. Installation took less than 15 minutes. The method outlined in the directions makes it a simple job. Turn the sleeve inside out so the rubber is on the outside. Pull the sleeve over the recoil pad/butt stock large end first with the seam on the bottom of the butt stock. Pull it all way down past the pistol grip and then revers and pull it back. Slip the foam pad in when you are pulling it back over and adjust from there. My kit came with illustrations showing the method.I now have a perfect cheek weld and the neoprene material is comfortable against my face. The foam has a good cushion too it as well which will help for a day at the range.I highly recommend this product.
