[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 676117, member: 2011"] I have not received any tactical training at all thus I am not familiar with what a "standard" cheek weld should be. I've gone from the cheek bone riding hard on the top of the cheek piece to my cheek "just" brushing it. I figure that the most important thing is that when you get into position behind the rifle regardless of bench/prone/off-hand, shooting up hill or down hill the full field of view of the scope should be immediately available. A fella can spend various, sometimes large, amounts of dollars getting a proper fit. I've seen McMillan A-5s w/adjustable cheek pieces torqued and slanted various ways to meet the needs of the specific shooter. I have found much greater shooting consistency when the stock is change rather than change my style as my style does not remain consistent when shooting positions become extremely out of the ordinary. The picture below shows my solution. This solution includes velcro, leather and DIY spacers. Velcro allows mounting the riser without doing anything to negatively impact value of the stock. The stock on the upper rifle is a DIY proto-type design. The bottom rig's stock is a McMillan A-5 The spacers are made of leather gorilla glued layer by layer until I got what was right for me. When I mount the rifle regardless of position the scope picture is immediately there. Quite pleasing!!! Select some materials to do your proto-typing. About anything will do. Denim, canvas . . . whatever. The important part is the spacer. The bottom one made of hair-on hide is quite the conversation starter.:D [/QUOTE]
