Frequently Asked Questions

How many cartridges does the Westcliff hold?

The holder features seven elastic cartridge loops.

Why is the elevated cheek rest necessary?

The cheek rest can help raise the shooter’s eye and align it with the axis of the optical sight. The appropriate height depends on the specific firearm, optics, and mounts.

Does the Westcliff automatically improve shooting accuracy?

No. It can help achieve a more consistent head and cheek position, but accuracy also depends on the firearm, ammunition, optics setup, and shooting technique.

Is the holder suitable for both right- and left-handed users?

Suitability depends on which side the cartridge loops are on and how they fit with the user’s cheek and bolt movement. The placement should be checked before purchase or use.

When is the Allen Westcliff the right choice?

The Westcliff is the best choice if the rifle’s optical sight sits high in relation to the existing stock and the shooter needs extra cheek support. It also allows you to keep seven cartridges attached directly to the rifle.

If the stock height is already suitable, the New Castle or a simpler elastic cartridge holder may be more comfortable. An excessively high cheek rest may raise the eye above the sight axis.

Our recommendation

We recommend checking the fit of the Westcliff together with the optics mounted on your rifle and your usual hunting clothing. Close your eyes, shoulder the rifle naturally, and open your eyes. If the sight picture is instantly complete and your head does not need correction, the cheek rest height is likely suitable.

Ensure that the holder does not interfere with the movement of the bolt handle or press cartridges against your face. After installation, verify both firearm handling and point of impact at the shooting range.

An elevated cheek rest does not replace properly selected optic mounts. If the scope is unnecessarily high, consider using lower mounting rings first.

Leather cartridge holder with elevated cheek rest

The Allen Westcliff combines seven cartridge loops, full leather, and an elevated cheek piece to support the use of optical sights. It is a practical addition for rifles where the standard stock sits low in relation to the optics.
