I have no rifles with a cheek riser. I can shoot MOA with non-match grade equipment.
I am a hunter, not a sniper or competitive shooter.
My technique is simple. Line up my eye on the scope, line up on the target, and shoot.
If I had a riser, would it... a) help me get on the scope faster?
B) help me shoot more precisely?
I’m helping a youngster get ready for an elk hunt in NM. Guide told him, be prepared for 200-400 yard shots. Michigan hunters typically are shooting 50, 75, 100 yards. I’ve done some at 225 on a farm.. but that’s more the exception.
One lesson involved giving him my 336 XLR with a 1-5x zoom. I had him sight up on 1x on a 300 yard target. Then told him to just adjust the angle of his face. On the 1x, you can see the barrel, and suddenly he realized how critical cheek weld is to MOA or better shooting.
I’d love to hear from those with more experiences shooting precisely.
