Meadow Industries in Palmyra, VA makes a good system, which will not damage a fine stock. Thin velcro strips hold the comb riser pad in place. The package comes with a number of thin pads so you can fine tune the amount you want to increase the height of the comb, e.g. 1/4", 3/8", etc.. They can be reached at Meadoweb@hotmail.com. Another option is a gel pad made by Beretta, which you can see in the Beretta catalogue. The gel pad can be removed (peeled off) with no damage to the stock. Both solutions are under $50.

Try an ISIS leather stick on pad so you wont make a permanent change. I have a couple these on Parkers. They look pretty decent and they are easily removed, but not reusable. eeb, I have one of the ISIS leather adhesive backed comb raisers and think they are the best of the available options for a small increase in comb height that can be easily reversed. Much nicer looking than the other options. Any suggestions on US suppliers that have them in stock? I see that Able Ammo carried them at one time but are now out of stock. PITA to order them from England.

I have ordered the ISIS pads from England a couple times, quite painlessly. I call them and give my CC number and I have my order in about 4-5 days. Shipping was minimal. I dont know anyone in the US now that sells them, which is strange because they are a great product.

Excellent advice. I will check into those options and see if the bruising ceases and my shooting improves.

There has to be a lot about stock drop (DAC, DAH) that I don't understand. I can't see how a stock with excessive drop can batter your cheek. The only way to shoot a gun with a lot of drop is to lift the cheek up off the stock so you can see the front bead. If you cannot see the front bead you are going to shoot low, and miss. Not that you look at it, but your eye has to be in the plane of the top of the rib for the gun to pattern where it should, for anything but trap.
The only guns that have ever bothered my cheek had too little DAC which caused me to bury my cheek too hard into the comb to keep from shooting high, and any recoil thusly bruised the cheek.
I dunno.

If you remove the ISIS comb riser, does the adhesive do any harm to the stock finish, or is it easy to clean up and restore the finish under the adhesive?

The adhesive comes off with a little Ballistol. Any pad that covers the wood can change the woods color, so yes, that potential is there.

Totally agree with Stans post above.

Stan and Joe, what you say does make sense. I cannot reconcile the measurements Of the actual gun with the Try gun measurements. Maybe I am reading or interpreting the numbers incorrectly. I believe that the proper course of action is to take the gun back to Bill and let him diagnose the problem. I am certainly no gun measurement expert.
