Cheek Padding?
Yesterday I shot my 30-06 for the first time in well over 25 years. I’ve been reluctant to shoot it due to recoil as I remember wearing my fathers padded shooting jacket when I shot it at the age of 15. After shooting it, I have to wonder why I waited so long to shoot it. What a kick in the pants it was to shoot it again. ½ - inch group at 50 yards with iron sights? I can’t get groups like that with any other rifle I own with iron sights. Not even close.
Now to my question. When shooting it, the recoil shot thru my cheekbone and felt like a jarring toothache on the other side of my face. It went away quickly, but I am wondering if anyone makes a padded cheek piece that would slip onto the stock. Below is a photo of what it looks like now.
