Yeah, lots of options. One option that works is getting a cheap foam sleeping pad, cutting a custom reaised cheekpiece, and wrapping it in Seran wrap before securing with duct tape (searn wrap keeps the duct tape off the wood finish.
You can also get a cheap elastic buttstock ammo holder and stretch it over your foam.

preacherman, I don't often do this but in your case...
![]() Here is Leatherwood's ADVERTISEMENT on SWFA...
I, personally, have 4 Leatherwood camputer scopes of 3 variants, one from Vietnam era. I have NO issues with cheekweld on any. However, any research shows about 2.5 inches above bore. You need to show the ads you find so objectionable... |

I thought I made it clear. I don't like ANYTHING MADE IN CHINA. It is a political opinion last time I wrote about this it was a political opinion. I thought I had that right included in the first amendment. I mentioned it in passing this time as a matter of course. If Leupold was manufactured in China I wouldn't even give it a chance. Obviously What I said about the scope was totally blown off because if you had read it you wouldve found that I am doing a honest appraisal of the scope and had actually commented on the quality being good. Apperantly that doesn't matter.
Later, No opinions allowed here you had another man who bitched for pages and pages. Where was your little flag then? No never mind I could care less |

You are the one who made the claim you had been deceived. The ad posted in my above post has been Leatherwood's standard ad for a LONG time. Obviously, you don't research what you buy. There are countless photos of the scope on AR15-type rifles and even on the OT there are coments about height above bore.
If you didn't do the homework, you have no legitimate complaint about the "grade"...

Nor was I aware that Mikes son had replyed to me on another thread. I would have gladly spoken to him directly. Probably due to the fact that I wasn't here. I will forego the rest of the evaluations lest I upset you. God knows I wouldn't want to do that or speak my mind. My apologies the scope is perfict beyond words just assume the same of all products that I bought are the same I personally am not worthy of anything It's all My fault, I should have known the truth No negative feedback will ever be forthcoming from me and just keep raising that flag By the way Naw. to hell with it

The fact remains you discussed the made in China issue two weeks ago. If you have a critical opinion of any given product, fine. But, to restate your complaint over again is unecessary. John Wu, the Chinese plants manager, was a good friend of Jim Leatherwood. Also, Corbett Leatherwood responded on your other thread and that is enough said. It appears a vendetta on an issue you have chosen to ignore.
Carry on with your mounting issue.

Hi Guys, Im new to this forum, this being my first post. I just wanted to say that I've been looking for a scope for my DPMS LR .308 for several weeks and have certainly done my homework. I stumbled across a different thread in this forum about the M1000 and a users bad experience. When Corbett Leatherman himself went out of his way to get this guys issues resolved, it got my attention and got me reading reviews. As with everything else, there are always going to be a few bad apples but for the most part since the manufacturing issues were resolved, this scope has been well recieved. Couple that with the obvious customer care, the price range and the features, I can say that I'm confident in the purchase I just made and am looking forward to mounting this thing and taking it out next weekend. I'll post some results.

I'm on my 3rd M1000. first was ordered around Christmas, could not get the thing on paper, it was shooting 4 foot high(The only reason I know that is I saw a tree limb get struck.) Sent it back and competitor sent a reman that looked like a kid tried to repaint it,the screws all looked like they had been chewed up with pliers and painted over. It was also boxed wrong. I didn't even mount that one. Just got the new one in.... I'm not sure if it's much better than the first one. I have a 4'X4' target and haven't hit it once. I have the scope mounted on a Remington 700 VTR .308 with a 0 MOA rail. The cam setting should be around 330 for Winchester 150 grain, but ballistics for m80 ball is closer to 310 (as best as I can decern from the manual.) At 100 yards (as per the manual's 100 yard zero) I have no clue where this thing is going. I moved into 50 yards (with the MOA mark above the "framing" box) and still nothing.... This is starting to get frustrating. If anyone has any experience with this setup please help.

Have you tried to laser boresight it? If it's off by that much, it certainly would be apparent and by how much. At 100 yards, you should use the top 18" bracket mark for point of aim on this scope. |

This is my second post.. and reading about the m-1000 . I have one mounted on my DPMS sass .308 . Its worked PERFECT ,. Its been thru mudd/ rain/ cold / heat and no issues . In fog and rain it held its own in some med/ long range shooting . I'm surely not expert in scopes and have plenty to learn. BUT is was hitting a iron maiden in fog and rain at 790 yds with my DPMS. .308. To me thats not bad. as for me personally anything under $500.00 will be a Leatherwood above that and its a Nightforce or SWFA SS 3-15X42
