The Magpul MAG461 Hunter/SGA Cheek Riser Kit transforms standard shotgun stocks into precision platforms with proper scope alignment. This adjustable cheek riser system eliminates the uncomfortable neck craning and inconsistent cheek placement that plague hunters and tactical shooters using optics on their shotguns.
What Makes This Different
Unlike foam pads or permanent modifications, the MAG461 offers two distinct height positions at 0.50" and 0.75" elevation. The modular design allows quick reconfiguration without tools, adapting instantly between iron sights and various optic heights. Built from Magpul's reinforced polymer construction, this system maintains zero shift while providing repeatable cheek weld positioning that enhances accuracy and reduces fatigue during extended shooting sessions.
Key Features
- Dual-height configuration: 0.50" and 0.75" cheek weld elevation options
- Tool-free installation and height adjustment system
- Compatible with Magpul Hunter and SGA shotgun stocks
- Reinforced polymer construction resists impact and temperature extremes
- Textured contact surface prevents slippage during recoil
- Matte black finish matches Magpul stock aesthetics
- Reversible design accommodates left and right-handed shooters
Field performance centers on consistent scope picture acquisition and reduced shooter fatigue. The raised cheek position aligns naturally with red dot sights, low-power variables, and rifle scopes mounted on shotgun receivers. Turkey hunters benefit from comfortable positioning during long sits, while tactical applications gain faster target acquisition. The polymer material maintains grip even when wet, ensuring reliable contact during adverse weather conditions.
