By Stephanie Blaser<\/a><\/p>\n W<\/span>hen it comes to a Springfield Armory M1A, you want the best including the stock. Frankly, you wouldn\u2019t just put any old scope or scope mount on it and you certainly wouldn\u2019t use any product on it that could damage the rifle. In a lot of cases, non-permanent additions are the way to go.<\/p>\n Bradley Cheek Rest is a one-of-a-kind manufacturer offering superior cheek welds on rifle stocks. Located in the good ole\u2019 U.S.A., this proud American manufacturer has been around for 10 years and is owned by veteran Bradley R. Slater.\u00a0<\/p>\n The company gives you several options of cheek rests to fit a wide range of rifles. The most appealing part for me is the non-destructive design: there is no drilling into your buttstock or permanently modifying your firearm to make it fit. This alone makes it one of the most interesting cheek pieces available.<\/p>\n [Check this if you are looking for an aftermarket M1A stock<\/a>.]<\/p>\n I recently had a chance to try out the Bradley Adjustable Cheek Rest. I immediately recognized that the quality of it is outstanding.<\/p>\n Each American made part is made of Kydex and uses a non-slip neoprene surface, so you won\u2019t have to worry about it moving around on you at the range or when you need it most. Each cheek rest is hand made with care because quality is their number one priority. Their website says it all, \u201cOur mission is simple: to provide the best products and service to our customers\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n When speaking with Bradley himself, he is so passionate about his product and that really shows when you receive your rest. The attention to detail is outstanding and they really make you feel like you are a part of the family \u2014 and that feeling lingers.\u00a0<\/p>\n When it came down to pricing, I personally found the adjustable cheek rest to be very reasonable. They range anywhere from $114.98 to $124.98 in wide range of color options, giving you the opportunity to pick the perfect one for your needs.<\/p>\n I am all about options when it comes to additions, and I like things that fit my personality and needs. I personally selected Kryptek pink, smoke purple and smoke black ones to try out.\u00a0<\/p>\n Now for the fun part \u2026 testing the product!<\/p>\n I tried my Bradley rest out on the Springfield Armory M1A, and right out of the gate I noticed a difference. I was born with a lazy eye, which can present a challenge. While I am right-handed and shoot pistols with my right hand, I shoot rifles left-handed. But since I am not left-handed, I can get shaky when shooting.<\/p>\n This cheek rest helped me immensely.<\/p>\n Live The Armory Life.<\/strong> The latest content straight to your inbox plus an automatic entry to each of our monthly gun\u00a0giveaways!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n I was able to hold the firearm steady and take my shot without a problem. The rest itself really gripped the stock; I did not feel it move once while shooting. It stayed right in place.<\/p>\n I felt the Bradley helped me get a proper cheek weld easier than other options on the market. In fact, I felt like I had the perfect cheek weld when shooting. It was far better for me than any other cheek pad I\u2019ve tried on the M1A rifle.\u00a0<\/p>\n Interestingly, when I changed the cheek pieces out, they came off with ease. No scratches, no damage, no fight. Others out at the range that day were interested and asked plenty of questions. Who knows how much business I sent them!<\/p>\n I would give this product a 5 out of 5 stars. My accuracy improved and I felt more comfortable when shooting the rifle. It gives me the ability to adjust the comb height to perfectly fit my body perfectly. Also, it was super easy to install using a soft strap \u2013 a great solution to avoid damaging your M1A stock. The kit came fully complete with everything I needed for ideal alignment.\u00a0<\/p>\n This is a great addition to the M1A. It\u2019s already a sweet gun, but adding the rest makes it that much cooler. While I tested this at my local shooting range, I\u2019ll be carrying this into the field for future hunting trips. Overall this is a great product. The best part is that they are adjustable, so you can put it on whatever you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Note: Please be sure to check out The Armory Life Forum, where you can comment about our daily articles, as well as just talk guns and gear.
