I agree with Oldtimr. But luckily for me my rifles fit me well and my scopes are set at the minimum height for clearance with barrel, action and bolt and my eye is in alignment when the rifle is shouldered. I guess I'm lucky in the fact that I am of average size (except around the middle) and that's what the manufacturers design around. I have seen that lately some manufacturers are making stocks with adjustable cheek welds. Mostly in their "tactical" line. Boy is that another sales gimmick!
Now my lever guns have a lower comb which is perfect for the iron sights on them. I did notice when I had a scope on my Marlin 1895 I had to adjust my cheek to the stock. I never did bother to add height to the stock. But I have since then removed the scope and installed a Williams peep sight on it.
