I made an adjustable Kydex cheek piece for my Rem 700P 338 Lapua. I drilled a couple holes in the butt stock and inserted an aluminum rod that I drilled and tapped for 10-32 threads. I bent a piece of Kydex using a heat gun and used a old wooden stock as a form. I cut slots in the Kydex to make it adjustable. It works very well. I was using a large scope with high rings and I was able to get a perfect cheek weld to center my eye in the scope.
I used a stock bag to carry 10 rounds of ammo on my 700PSS in .308 Win. It does add a lot of weight to the gun but when shooting prone off of a bipod it is no big deal. I do keep my drop card in the pocket so it is ready to go.

I was kind of thinking of throwing in a couple powder charges, bullets and primers. Thought it would be a good way not to forget a couple extra loads.
I was also thinking the kydex adjustable cheek rest might be lighter than buying a stock with one built in.

I was also thinking the kydex adjustable cheek rest might be lighter than buying a stock with one built in. The stock bag can be a bit noisy walking through the woods. Might be ok if you are just walking to a blind or treestand though. The add-on cheek piece is much lighter than the adjustable one. I bought a Boyd Pro Varmint with the adj cheek piece and when it arrived it was put on a bench gun and I quickly ordered another one without the cheek piece. it threw the balance off and was way too heavy for the elk gun I was building. |

I'm a big fan of the adjustable Kydex check rest. I have installed several of them. Inexpensive and totally effective way to get that repeatable, perfect cheek weld. One thing I found that you may find helpful as well is if you are putting the rest on a heavy recoiling gun I would get the rest that has different adjustment "holes" and not just smooth vertical slits cut in it for the adjustment. The smooth vertical slit model has a tendency to creep down on you with a heavy recoiling gun. Last rest I installed was to prevent scope eye. So my head recoiled with the gun and not the gun into my head. It worked, no more scope eye.
