Ruger American Cheek Rest Install from Matthew's Fabrication

Today I will be installing a Kydex Cheek Rest from Matthew's Fabrication. This is a very easy install. Just a few simple tools are needed.
This will allow a perfect cheek weld every time, helping you keep a consistent sight picture. Be sure to check out Matthew's Sites.
He has them for most stocks, colors, and a few other options.

Just bought this rifle and your videos were the deciding factor!! You definately deserve an endorsement from the Ruger corp. !!

[@dustyman0789]

Just found your vids I'm a 243 guy myself but really looking at 6.5 yours make it look really tempting

[@243Outdoors]

It's one of those thing's if you try it you will be hooked.

[@MatthewsFabrication]

Awesome video, thanks for the shout out. Let me know how your accuracy improves. Sincerely, Matthew

[@humbleoutdoorsman6817]

What specific cheek riser is this I also have the American predator 6.5 ?

[@jessebrown1497]

Setting up a new rifle. My eyes do not naturally align when resting on the stock. I read about fixes for this problem and ordered an even lower low mount. Hoping this will fix the problem. If not I may go this route. Nice video.

[@northman77]

I did the same thing to my american ranch. It work but I'll buy a chassis next year.

[@tug2501]

Thank you love the gun want to build one of my own..

[@aaronmelvin461]

Good video. In my opinion, I don’t want my scope mounted that high. It looks like your scope sits way high so the rings are extra high. Seems like the rings on that gun are for a larger objective.

[@poacheddeer]

I just ordered one of these for my savage Mark II 22. Nice video, strait shooting brother ✌️

[@louisphelpsjr]

I just purchased the RA Predator in 6.5 CM and was thinking about adding this very same cheek riser which is how I came across your video. Very informative and will use it as a guide when I install mine. I also noticed the muzzle break you have installed as well. Can you tell me which muzzle break that is? I have a compensator on mine at the moment but it is not doing what I need. Thanks in advance.

[@redraiderreloading7612]

Fixn to install mine tonight..

[@mikewest712]

Looks like that riser is mounted forward about an inch to far.

[@paulroberts9578]

Is that a long action bolt? I have the same but mine is short action and looks different. Nice job on the vid.

[@243Outdoors]

No, is a short action.

[@tommyroberts867]

Looks good. What is the barrel length on your 6.5 Creed?

[@2002ZRX1200R]

Which one is that one? Is it a left version?

[@rickynewton72]

What’s the added weight for in the end of the riffle?

[@jamespeacock8355]

What muzzle break do you have on your 6.5 Creedmoor? Awesome videos by the way

[@243Outdoors]

It's a Tac-Fire TPI Compact .308 Brake. I got it from OpticsPlanet, it usually runs under $20

[@jamespeacock8355]

Wow!!! $20 Thanks for the reply... I look forward to more of your videos

[@andrewvanzant5386]

Can you give more info of the weights in the stock. Need to add something in mine. Looking for ideas. Thanks.

[@243Outdoors]

Pull the recoil pad off the gun and remove the Styrofoam. I added about a pound of lead and then stuffed some shop rags into the stock to keep everything from moving. I used a screwdriver to pack the rags in very tight. On the forearm I just used some bondo fiberglass and filled all the voids and sanded it down smooth.

[@andrewvanzant5386]

243 Outdoors. Thanks, keep up the good videos.

[@eddiebot]

@243 Outdoors, does the fiberglass expand at all as it hardens? Was there any concern about the stock flexing and interfering with the free float?

[@243Outdoors]

I didn't notice any expanding. The stock flexed very bad and the fiberglass helped some. It still flexes but not as bad.

[@tzmoore1227]

What kind of bipod are you using? How do you like it?

[@tabasco351]

What model of Blackhawk is your bipod

[@tomn5880]

Can you remove the bolt with the cheek rest in the ready position?

[@243Outdoors]

No, not the way I have it now. I have to raise it up just a bit, and the back of the bolt will go under the rest and then it will come out.

[@tomn5880]

@Ron Stone Good plan

[@alchemykitchen777]

is that made out of kydex?

[@243Outdoors]

Yes

[@wesfortson5542]

What muzzle brake are you using on your 6.5?

[@243Outdoors]

It's called a TPI Compact 308 brake from Optics planet. Runs $15-25

[@gettinitoutdoors6763]

Would you happen to be from around the clarksville region of TN.

[@243Outdoors]

Southern Illinois

[@gettinitoutdoors6763]

243 Outdoors oh that’s cool brother I was just wondering cause you got a midsouth shooters hat on and it’s located in Clarksville. Ive been there multiple times.

[@243Outdoors]

I've ordered a few things from them. I'm just trying to be like my buddy 22Plinkster. I found out about them from his hat.

[@gettinitoutdoors6763]

243 Outdoors very nice, they have great customer service and I go to school with the owners son so I know whenever they get all sort of new stuff to play with . I really enjoy the video man and very insightful. I have been looking into getting a deer rifle for a long time and I have settled on the ruger American. Thanks!
