The scope on my savage 12 223 is getting on my nerves latly, the stock is ill designed and i have the scope mounted high bescause of the 50mm obj. lens and my cheek dosent touch the stock, which i find unatural... I was wondering if anybody knew where i could find something to raise the comb of my rifle like an add on cheeck rest ?

I've never personally been in the market for one so I couldn't direct you to many places on the 'net, but I do know I've seen multiple 'comb raising kits' in cabelas and BPS mail catalogs. Any of the internet shooters suppply stores should have truckloads of them as well.

There are a couple of cheap fixes for you dilema. There are some stick on/adhesive type combs made by a company called D&E. They are popular with shotguns that need their comb raised. You can find them at gunshops/trap&skeet ranges.
I found this one at Cabela's, it's a made of soft leather and is tied on with a leather lace. It looks a little goofy but does stay in place, even on this 416 Rigby.
One thing to remember it that whatever you use make sure that the comb you attach doesnt interfere with the bolt.
