I have done much searching but have come across very few mentions regarding comb raising to assist with good cheek-weld when scopes are mounted on Marlin's. I found that when I added 3/4" of closed cell foam duct taped to the comb to get a better cheek-weld that my accuracy improved substantially. This looks and is hoakey but works for me. Scopes are mounted as low down as possible but my cheek "floats" above the wood to get a good sight picture. My eyes are not what they were so scopes are a must.
I have seen all kinds of synthetic and leather accessories for other rifles but have not come across these for Marlin's. I am quite proficient at leather carving and stitching and will make a unit tomorrow to try out. (We got rained out on the farm so have some idle time for this.) Anybody else have this experience and have done something similar? Please share what you did.
