Hornady Universal Cheek Pad – The Budget Cheek Weld Fix That Actually Works

At Ally Munitions, we’ve tested nearly every cheek riser out there—and most fall short, especially those using laces or bungee cords. They shift, they stretch, and they just don’t stay put. This one is different.

The Hornady Universal Cheek Pad offers a secure, repeatable cheek weld using a hook-and-loop webbing system that actually holds position under recoil. Designed for traditional fixed stocks, this pad adds just the right amount of height to align your eye with your optic—perfect for bolt guns, predator shotguns, or slug setups still stuck in the iron-sight era.

We’ve used these cheek pads in the field for years. For the money, it’s hard to beat, which is why we’re now offering them to our customers.

Why We Recommend It

Because some manufacturers still build rifles as if iron sights are the default, and that leaves shooters with a low comb and poor eye alignment. We’ve run this exact cheek pad on predator hunting shotguns and bolt-action rifles, and we’ll tell you firsthand—it makes a huge difference.

It’s secure, functional, and field-tested, giving you a stable shooting position and better optic alignment for under the price of a box of ammo. If your rifle stock isn’t adjustable, this is your fix.
