Abstract

A cheek rest assembly for mounting on a butt stock, including a cheek rest having a center portion and a pair of side portions, each side portion sloping downwardly and outwardly on opposite sides from the center portion, a pair of elongate storage compartments, each storage compartment being suspended from a lower end of one of the side portions and extending along at last a portion of the side portion, and at least one storage sleeve configured to be removably inserted into either of the storage compartments such that when the storage sleeve is fully inserted into the storage compartment, a watertight seal is formed to protect stored contents within the storage compartment.

1 . A cheek rest assembly for mounting on a firearm butt stock, comprising:
 a cheek rest having a center portion and a pair of side portions, each side portion sloping downwardly and outwardly on opposite sides from the center portion;   a pair of elongate storage compartments, each storage compartment being suspended from a lower end of one of the side portions and extending along at last a portion of the side portion; and   at least one storage sleeve configured to be removably inserted into either of the storage compartments such that when the storage sleeve is fully inserted into the storage compartment, a watertight seal is formed to protect stored contents within the storage compartment.   
     
     
         2 . The cheek rest assembly of  claim 1 , wherein each of the storage compartments is a hollow cylinder having at least one open end to enable insertion and removal of the storage sleeve. 
     
     
         3 . The cheek rest assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the storage sleeve includes at least one chamber configured to hold one or more batteries. 
     
     
         4 . The cheek rest assembly of  claim 3 , comprising a storage sleeve corresponding to each storage compartment, wherein each storage sleeve includes three chambers configured to hold two or more batteries end-to-end while preventing the batteries from making electrical contact with one another. 
     
     
         5 . The cheek rest assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a pair of mounting blocks for securing the cheek rest to a butt stock, a mounting block extending inwardly and downwardly from each side portion of the cheek rest. 
     
     
         6 . The cheek rest assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the mounting blocks are integrally formed with the cheek rest. 
     
     
         7 . The cheek rest assembly of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a first anchor block configured to be secured to one of the mounting blocks in a position between one of the mounting blocks and the butt stock; and   a second anchor block configured to be secured to the other of the mounting blocks in a position between the other of the mounting blocks and the butt stock;   wherein the first and second anchor blocks are configured to be secured to the butt stock.   
     
     
         8 . The cheek rest assembly of  claim 7 , wherein one of the first and second anchor blocks includes a sling bushing. 
     
     
         9 . The cheek rest assembly of  claim 7 , wherein one of the first and second anchor blocks includes a slot for securing a sling bushing. 
     
     
         10 . A cheek rest assembly for mounting on a firearm butt stock, comprising:
 a cheek rest having a center portion and a pair of side portions, each side portion sloping downwardly and outwardly on opposite sides from the center portion;   a pair of mounting blocks for securing the cheek rest to a butt stock, a mounting block extending inwardly and downwardly from each side portion of the cheek rest;   a pair of hollow cylindrical storage compartments, each storage compartment being suspended from a lower end of one of the side portions and extending along at last a portion of the side portion, each storage compartment have at least one open end; and   a pair of storage sleeves for holding two or more batteries end-to-end while preventing the batteries from making electrical contact with one another, each storage sleeve being configured to be removably inserted into either of the storage compartments such that when the storage sleeve is fully inserted into the storage compartment, a watertight seal is formed to protect stored contents within the storage compartment.   
     
     
         11 . The cheek rest assembly of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a first anchor block configured to be secured to one of the mounting blocks in a position between one of the mounting blocks and the butt stock; and   a second anchor block configured to be secured to the other of the mounting blocks in a position between the other of the mounting blocks and the butt stock;   wherein the first and second anchor blocks are configured to be secured to the butt stock.
