CHEEK PIECE FOR TELESCOPE
The cheek piece is also the Winchester; cut with especially high comb to adapt it to a telescope which is placed a full inch higher above the barrel than ordinary sights. It follows that where a glass is mounted an ordinary low comb and cheek will be practically useless padded up to the required height. A drop of an inch at comb will generally be found sufficient, but the slant to butt must be rapid, down to at least three inches; some prefer four. The cheek piece, together with the blinder, affords a very secure rest for the head, and on its perfect fit largely depends the ease and security with which the rifleman holds his gun.
