I have the above rifle and am having problems getting a decent sight picture. The stock has so much drop that even with my fat face resting on the comb of the stock I can barely see the front and rear sights. Does anyone make a cheek rest that will help me out?. Leather or nylon doesn't make any difference. Thanks all. Frank

Was looking through the sights and even with my fat face can't get a good cheek weld. I've shot a friends Pedersoli Sharps target rifles and even with the higher combs still had problems with the cheek weld. Guess I'm so used to shooting mil surps and their type of iron sights. Those I have no problems with. Course I cheat with my Lee Enfields when I swap out the standard buttstocks and use a #8 buttstock with higher comb and pistol grip. Frank
