Bought this Nohma Leather buffalo hide sling on Amazon. Like the look and feel.

Has anyone found a cuff with a cheek riser that they like and fits a BigBoy? I'm looking at something like the ones pictured, with or without the ammo loops. I just mounted a scope to my 357 and found I need another inch of height on the stock for a good cheek weld. I'm not against making one as I have some heavy duty sewing machines that can handle leather or heavy cordura, Just curious if anyone found a great one that grips tight and doesn't abrade the wood finish.

Take care,
Tom

I still think this sounds like a bdsm thread. Just saying. Lol

Tom,

I use that exact riser ( the nylon one) and it’s the perfect height to align my eye with the scope on my Big Boy 357. I have only used it once so far and don’t leave it on my rifle. I keep it in my range bag and only put it on when shooting from a bench. I find that when I sight my rifle from a standing position my eye aligns with the scope without the riser. Can’t speak to it abrading the stock, not enough use yet but that’s why I don’t leave it on the stock while not using the rifle.

Just ordered a no drill sling from Brass Stacker. They appear to be very nice, and I hope to have mine next week.

I have ordered the Silverado stock cover from https://gunstockcover.com/ It cost $95 with free ship by USPS. The cover is available with or without cartridge loops. I ordered the one with the "stich" option. This is leather lace stitching in place of the cartridge loops. My sling setup has a cartridge pad for 10 rounds so I don't need the loops on the cover. I also ordered the left hand version. Each cover is made to order so it takes a little time. Right now his site says about two months but, on the phone, he said the wait was about one month right now.

Very nice

I received the "Ace of Spades" butt cover for my .357 Mag X-Model from Gunstockcover.com. I previously posted (page 3 of this thread) the "Silverado" butt cover in left hand for my CCH .357 Mag carbine. This one I ordered the cartridge loops. The "Ace of Spades" is a black cover that goes very well with the composite stock of the X-Model. See the photos.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Now that the sun has come out (finally) I have better photos of the "Ace of Spades" I received from Gunstockcovers.com and that I installed on my .357 X-Model.
