Just get a cheek pad from Meadow Industries. I use them and they work very well. Cheap too

 

The Beretta cheek pads do not "leak" if cut. The inside is not a liquid.

 

if you want a nice looking semi permanent pad that won’t add much
cast, check out the ISIS cheek pad.

Guys, thanks for all the answers. I looked into the Beretta pad because I don’t want the finish on my stock damaged if I chose to eventually remove the pad.
smokintom, is that pad very difficult to remove safely?

You might want to do more research on that. I have seen quite a few reports of the Beretta pad leaving damaged finishes. The CheekEez is the best IMO. Easy to remove, no finish damage. The Meadow Industries works good also, but it's a PITA to remove.

 

Yeah, I used the Cheek Eez in the past and it’s pretty good. But the Meadows has the advantage that is narrower so it doesn’t hang over down the side of the stock pushing your face to the left. I guess you always can cut the Cheek Eez.

 

What is your preferred vendor for the Meadows? Do they sell direct? I'm looking for one of these for my 1984 Citori.

 

Apparently they sell direct. Meadowindustries.com
I’m thinking I might pull the trigger on this one. I’ll think about it.

 

I’ll remember.

 

I had a cheek eez on a old BT. I am pretty sure you could cut that to size with zero issue. Mine started to crumble after a few years of heavy use. A quick wipe with a paper towel full of light fluid got rid of the rest. That said I would personally have a hard time sticking one a nice piece of wood

 

I tried trimming Beretta cheek pads to do what you asked. Nothing ran out. It is a solid pad. But...it sure did not work for me. The pad did not stick well after trimming. I could not get it trimmed to do what I wanted. And it looked like my dog did the work. I was so stubborn I tried it twice on different guns. No joy. I put on an adjustable comb on both guns and have been happy with that addition. Beretta just has a bit too much drop for me.

 

Thanks guys. I won’t try to trim a Beretta pad based upon what I read. Regarding Cheek-Eez or the other pad, I have to think about it.

 

with an adjustable comb, you can fine tune the cast as well as POI
