Zippy, What is the benefit of a Monte Carlo? Does it help if you have a long neck? I read something about how it is beneficial if you use a scope since it enables the shooter to elevate his head while keeping the stock low. I have to check, as the fashion I am mounting is rapidly mutating, but I was having a problem where if I kept my head up and brought the comp to my cheek an inch or more of the heel was higher than my shoulder.

"The Monte Carlo comb (B) is commonly found on stocks designed for use with scopes, and features an elevated comb to lift the cheek higher, while keeping the heel of the stock low. A cheekpiece (C) is a raised section on the side of the stock, which provides support for the shooter's cheek. There is some confusion between these terms, as the features are often combined, with the raised rollover cheekpiece (D) extending to the top of the stock to form a high Monte Carlo comb.
