Why do you need a Comb Raising Kit? – Beartooth Products

Todays rifle combs have not changed much. The comb is where you place your cheek to look through your scope if you have one. And most rifles do have scopes.

The problem becomes accentuated when your scope lens approaches 50 mm and your height above the rifle is too high for a cheek weld and eye to scope alignment. Your head bobs and weaves and you missed that buck of a lifetime.

I have purchased Beartooth Products™ Comb raising kit. It is a neoprene slip on with no velcro. Mine is in Mossy Oak® Break-up.

The Kit

The oval pads are in different thicknesses to raise the comb. You can experiment to see

which one works  best to raise your cheek/eye alignment.

Here is my first try. I didn’t need much height but time will tell if I need to change to a higher one.

The kit costs around 28 dollars. Not a big price to pay for a good cheek weld and I can

store a few extra rounds in the sleeve.

And my stock is protected from damage too.

Good Hunting!
