B-26

[riflejunkie]

Tony and I played with our MM B-26's on Saturday and didn't have scopes so we were left to shoot them with the factory sights.  While lots of rifles come with sights not all of them have a stock that works well with them.  The B-26 sporter stock is ideal for using the factory sights.  The problem with stocks is that they are made for one purpose unless they have an adjustable comb.  I finally got the scope from PA and mounted cheek weld becomes jaw weld.  
I realize it isn't practical for everyone but for proper cheek weld on this or any other rifle that is optimized for iron sights but you want to shoot it scoped I suggest you consider Masterclass Stocks cheekpiece hardware.  You can buy the hardware and install it yourself or send them your stock and they will install it for you.  Scroll about halfway down the page for the turn wheel cheekpiece.  Alex can also duplicate any stock you send him.  http://www.masterclassstocks.com/accessories.html

Thanks for the link.....lots of stuff to make a rifle fit anybody perfectly.

It can be kind of pricey, but I think the turn wheel cheek piece installed is about $165 and that isn't all that bad.  I am really enjoying the B-26.  The length of pull is too much for me and I'll be cutting the stock down to fit.

Everyone is different but for me the B26 stock comb is too high for the rifle sights.  I have to jam my cheek into the comb.  No bother though because my scope will be here tomorrow

Did you get the thumbhole stock?  I've heard the comb on that stock is too high for anything but high rings.
