S400 fit and eye alignment

Sat Feb 28, 2015 7:47 pm

Looking for some advice on comfortable eye alignment, I have an S400f classic which I am struggling to get a comfortable cheek weld and also correct finger positioning on the trigger, would like your thoughts on adjustable cheek piece or possibly a custom stock, if it makes a difference I also have a HW97KT which seems to fit much better.
Thanks Ken

An adjustable stock will give what you need. As for the trigger you could always get a Rowan adjustable one.

I used Warren Edwards to modify my TX200 stock, he cut and fitted an adjustable cheekpiece. He does a fantastic job.

Thanks for the replies off to rowans web site then, decide between a custom made or modification.

The adjustable butt pad is Rowan.

The first thing i would try is a Bisley adjustable butt pad and a Bisley scope enhancer, about £30ish in total. This should help but if its still not right i would then try taping some foam blocks to the stock to see if it helps before splashing out on a permanent job.

Thanks Ken

have you tried moving the scope back this will make you put your head further back and higher up on the stock or forward will make your head lower,
