In a lot of cases, non-permanent additions are the way to go.

Bradley Cheek Rest is a one-of-a-kind manufacturer offering superior cheek welds on rifle stocks.

The company gives you several options of cheek rests to fit a wide range of rifles.

In this photo we see the different cheek risers - also known as rests - for the Springfield Armory M1A. Designed by Springfield Armory, Inc. the M1A is based on the M14 rifle. Both the M1A and the M14 are chambered for the 7.62x51mm NATO, a bottlenecked rifle cartridge.

The Bradley Adjustable Cheek Rest gives you a great option for a stable interface between you and your rifle.

This alone makes it one of the most interesting cheek pieces available.

Quality Where It Counts

I recently had a chance to try out the Bradley Adjustable Cheek Rest.

In this digital photograph, the author has installed the Bradley cheek rest on her M1A rifle. She is at a private shooting range with the gun attached to a bipod and resting on a shooting bench. Visible in the photo are .308 Winchester cartridges which are compatible with the 7.62x51mm and will fire in the M1A. Also visible is a metal box semi-automatic rifle magazine and an electronic hearing protection device.

Out on the range with a loaded M1A with synthetic black stock and marble-colored Bradley Adjustable Cheek Rest.

I immediately recognized that the quality of it is outstanding.

Each cheek rest is hand made with care because quality is their number one priority.

When it came down to pricing, I personally found the adjustable cheek rest to be very reasonable.

In this photograph, the author shows us one of the color finishes that the Bradley can be purchased in. They offer additional colors and patterns on the Kydex cheek rest including MultiCam and green.

I personally selected Kryptek pink, smoke purple and smoke black ones to try out.

Hands On with the Adjustable Cheek Riser

Now for the fun part … testing the product!

I was born with a lazy eye, which can present a challenge.

While I am right-handed and shoot pistols with my right hand, I shoot rifles left-handed.

But since I am not left-handed, I can get shaky when shooting.

This cheek rest helped me immensely.

In this photograph, the author shows us two of her M1A rifles - one in 308 and the other in 6.5 Creedmoor - with the cheek rests she was testing.

The author found the Bradley Cheek Rests were a great fit for theSpringfield M1A Loaded(left) andM1A Super Matchshe had out at the range.

I was able to hold the firearm steady and take my shot without a problem.

The rest itself really gripped the stock; I did not feel it move once while shooting.

It stayed right in place.

I felt the Bradley helped me get a proper cheek weld easier than other options on the market.

In fact, I felt like I had the perfect cheek weld when shooting.

It was far better for me than any other cheek pad Ive tried on the M1A rifle.

Interestingly, when I changed the cheek pieces out, they came off with ease.

No scratches, no damage, no fight.

Others out at the range that day were interested and asked plenty of questions.

M1A™ Super Match

Who knows how much business I sent them!

My accuracy improved and I felt more comfortable when shooting the rifle.

It gives me the ability to adjust the comb height to perfectly fit my body perfectly.

The kit came fully complete with everything I needed for ideal alignment.

This is a great addition to the M1A.

Its already a sweet gun, but adding the rest makes it that much cooler.
