Ashley D Austin Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I heave searched the Shooters Handbook and can not find an answer to this question, "Can cheek risers be added to rifle and shotgun stocks, and if so how high can they be?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 That would be an external modification to a firearm. All ALLOWED external modifications are called out in the rules. So, if you can't find that it is allowed, then it is not allowed. good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying W Ramrod Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 As GJ said "ANY EXTERNAL MODIFICATION TO ANY FIREARM NOT SPECIFICALLY REFERENCED IN THIS HANDBOOK IS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED" SHB Pg. 39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Ok, so slap one on your long range shotgun! Long Range really has very few and ill-defined rules, and most events are totally defined by what information shooters can pry out of the LR match manager. Not even any standard ranges for events, nor standards for announcing to competitors ahead of time what range(s) will be shot. Not a very serious rifle competition if you can't do that. good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 "Grips or stocks of simulated or natural materials are acceptable provided they are not customized to constitute a “target” grip or stock. That is, they must be of the same basic shape as grips or stocks found on original firearms." Some years ago, I picked up a Rossi '92 .44-40 that somebody had "skeletonized" the stock on. This was determined to be not "the same basic shape as found on original firearms", so I cut, fitted, and pinned/glued a piece of juniper into the hole.
