1. An adjustable cheek rest for the butt stock of a firearm, comprising:
- a generally U-shaped elongate comb member adapted to substantially conform to the underlying butt stock;
a generally T-shaped rail mounted to the butt stock, the rail extending in a substantially longitudinal directiona fixture having a generally C-shaped member adapted to slidably receive the generally T-shaped rail and a generally vertically extending arm including an elongate aperture;
a stud extending outwardly from a surface of the comb member, the stud being adapted to slidably engage the elongate aperture of the fixture when the surface of the comb member is adjacent to a rear face of the arm of the fixture;
two recessed slots extending in a generally vertical direction on the surface of the comb member, one slot being disposed on either side of the stud;
two guide tabs protruding rearwardly from the rear face of the arm of the fixture, each rearwardly protruding tab being adapted to engage the corresponding recess slot for guiding the comb member as it is moved vertically with respect to the butt stock; and
fastening means adapted to engage the stud, the fastening means having an enlarged cap, whereby the fastening means may be loosened to enable the comb member to be repositioned substantially vertically with respect to the butt stock and whereby the fastening means may be tightened to clamp the arm of the fixture between the cap and the comb member to secure the comb in a fixed vertical position with respect to the butt stock.

Abstract
The present invention provides an adjustable cheek rest for installation on the butt stock of a firearm, the cheek rest having an elongate comb adapted to conform to the top portion of the butt stock, the comb being supported on a rail that is fixed to, or removably mounted to, one side of the butt stock. The cheek rest comb is adjustable both longitudinally and vertically with respect to the butt stock to suit the needs of a particular shooter, the comb being attached to the butt stock by a fixture slidably engaging the rail to permit longitudinal adjustment and slidably engaging the comb to permit vertical adjustment. Once adjusted, the comb may be secured in a desired longitudinal and vertical location. A removable rail is also provided for mounting the cheek rest and/or other accessories to a firearm butt stock not having a fixed accessory mounting rail.
