![]() Welcome aboard friend, as I see you are a TF a first timer. Try it Guys!!! It works!!! See the attached PIC. And the best part is the cost A new cheek pad will cost between $20.00 to $100 depending on how fancy you want them.įor me this cost: $4.99 for the cartridge holder and $1.18 for the 3/4" pipe foam insulation and it works great. I had planned on buying a new cheek pad but when I saw this worked for me, I knew many others on this forum could also benefit from it. I created a small cradle on the pad utilizing the foam insulation which turned out shaped similar to a saddle. You are still able to use the iron sights without a problem. This pad rides perfectly on my stock and gives you the perfect cheek weld when using the scope. I took a 5 inch piece of 3/4" pipe foam insulation and placed it on the upper edge of the stock and created my own cheek pad. I purchased an Allen elastic 9 round cartridge holder that fits like a sock over the stock. This of course was unsatisfactory and uncomfortable for me. At times it seemed as if the stock was riding more along my jaw bone. I did notice my cheek weld was quite different when using the scope. If my scope goes down for whatever reason then I should be able to use my iron sights (with a good pair of glasses) to help me out. Now I'm able to have the best of both worlds. I recently purchased a new Marlin 30-30, 336W and utilized Millett's 1 inch see thru mounts to attach a 3X9X40 Simmons scope. But let me tell you, once you get a bit older and your sight begins to play tricks on you, you tend to rely on what ever tools are available to help you out. I for one have always depended on iron sights for most of my shooting. Some will argue that a Marlin 336W is a short ranged rifle therefore you should not need a scope at all. I, like many others on this forum, like the option of having both iron sights and a scoped sight available for my 336W. I believe if these mounts are being manufactured and sold there's obviously something good about them. I think it's all a matter of personal opinion. I've been reading quite a bit of information regarding the pros and cons of see thru mounts. ![]()
