Is a cheek piece riser OK for issue class military rifle competition? If yes, how much and what materials can be used to make a riser without spoiling the spirit of fairness.

In my opinion, only on standard Infrantry rifles issued with a cheek piece. However, since I am retired from competition, my opinion may not mean very much.

Sorry but no.

[1] Issue - Any military service rifle issued to any nation and legally sold as surplus in the US and in strictly as issued configuration. The only modifications allowed to the Issue rifle are -- front sight height may be raised or lowered as long as the original profile is kept, the sling and swivel may be removed and a slip on recoil pad may be used.

Thanks for the quick replies! While I am on the subject can your hand placed over the comb be legal as a headrest?

No different than using the jaw as an anchor and opening my mouth I suppose.

True.  That would come under technique.

If you go back to the original training manuals from 1903-1910, they recommend placing the thumb on the top of the stock and resting the cheek on top of the thumb. It fell out of favor only because it made working the bolt slow. FWIW
