I’m trying to understand the relationship between cast-off and cheekpieces, so I’m looking for input. I’m building a stock for a bolt action rifle that will primarily be used with open sights (peep on the rear, blade on the front), but it will sometimes be used with a scope. I’m building it in the style of this Minar rifle: http://www.finegunmaking.com/page32/page46/page46.html

I have a pretty good understanding of how comb height and eye alignment differ between open sights and scopes, so the stock will be shaped with a nod towards open sights. I’m inclined to include some amount of cast-off in the buttstock. I’ve read that cast-off works in tandem with a cheekpiece (the Minar rifle has a cheekpiece), but I also see a lot of shotguns with cast-off and no cheekpiece. So my question is this: for a rifle stock that will be used primarily with open sights, and occasionally a scope, would cast-off be wise, and if so, should the cast-off be accompanied by a cheekpiece? I welcome input and opinions on this. Thank you!

I have noticed that almost all guns with a cheek piece would have too much castoff if you removed the cheek piece.
