Title: Help me choose a Fortitude cheek weld solution
Post by: splitbeing on March 14, 2024, 02:13:20 PM
Like the title says. The Fortitude/Maximus stock has a poor cheek weld.

Here's one company with two potential solutions, the shotgun riser and the montecarlo shape riser stand out as options.

Open to other ideas too. Staying below $50, preferably below $30 but will spring if necessary. No pun intended

Thanks in advance.

I used a piece of foam pipe insulation about 6" long with a wide slot cut in it held on with 2" masking tape.

I like Buk's solution.

I used some of the plastic from an unused toilet seat.   It was formed with a little heat and attached with velcro for adjustability.  I'm really happy with it.

The bipod came from the same source.  I ain't proud...

Cheers,

J~

I'm a big fan of repurposing but that's gotta be a first for me.  :-\

Holy sh#@!  Pun intended.

Cheek weld will never sound the same to me [chuckling].

Looks like you're getting ready to put a little fur lining on it..   ;D

Lol!

It’s a coyote fur from Colorado that Sscoyote sent to the Philippines years ago.

He’s married to a Filipina, so…

Oh, Barney, my avatar, hated it  :P

Looking at the Fortitude, it looks like it needs more than an inch of added cheek height  ::)

Your posts from an old thread brought GAG to my attention, Rich!

Yeah, that being a coyote fur makes more sense than the squirrel I was imagining.

Speaking of squirrel, I still can't get the dang image to post on my profile so I guess I am super secret squirrel society.

I have a 17xx top with a Fortitude tube I haven’t built yet, and I’ve been eyeing (placed it in my cart) the Nutmeg Boyd’s Varmint with an adjustable stock. It has been there for months now ‘cuz me and the AG Bug haven’t been in touch for quite some time now ::)

It makes the AG look like one of those competition shotgun with an extended tube for more shells.

I think the Victor Titan cheek rest would work very well; they’re stackable and look good, but they are “widish” and would need a somewhat substantial  “seat” to saddle on….Then there’s the Bubba method which I don’t care for  :P

Had an unopened set that I gave to my friend.

Comes in 3 colors: black, FDE, and ODG.

 It being plastic would certainly match the Fortitude’s furniture.

I’d never install one on a laminate or wood stock though  :P
