Has anyone tried roosters cheekrest?

I have Rooster's cheek piece on both my Fiberglass stocks.They are well designed and solid.You can also paint them to match you camo stock.

The original design attached only on one side(my desert stock has the 1st generation cheek piece), but was still solid.The ones being made now are fastened from both sides(The woodlands stock has the new style), making the cheek piece even more solid.

Ever since I started posting pics of my rifle on the different firearms boards(AR15.com, battlerifles.com, etc.) I have been swamped with requests on where and how to get one.I have been acting as Rooster's "sales rep", but now he has that fancy webpage courtesy of Six, so my job is done.

Ok guys, here is how I mounted my Rooster33 cheek rest.

I install mine on a bare stock with no buttplate.This seems to work the easiest.

1) First of all, tape off both sides of the stock to prevent splintering and scratching of the stock surface.

2) I have a 18" length of aluminum round stock that just fits nicely in the cleaning compartment.I insert the round stock into the TOP cleaning compartment hole.This lets you see the angle of the compartment in relation to the top of the stock comb. With the stock laying on one side, I then approximate the center of the aluminum rod, and use a steel straight edge and draw a line down the side of the stock.This line locates the center of the top compartment down the length of the stock.You will be drilling straight through the top compartment.



3)Position the cheek rest where you think it fits you best.The rear of my cheek rest is 2 1/8" from the rear of the buttstock(without the buttplate on!!!).When you have the cheek rest in position, level the top of the cheek rest even with the top of the stock.When the cheek rest is in position, mark the center of the cheek rest adjustment slots on the line you drew earlier.This is where you are going to drill through your stock.



4) I lightly center punch the holes.you will need a 23/64" drill bit for a snug fit of the mounting bolts.If you want a little room to play with, use a 3/8" drill bit.I used a drill press to drill my stocks.Make sure the stock is level and square before you start to drill so the bolts don't go through at an angle.I used little pieces of scrap wood to shim up the stock and make it square and level.I will be building a fixture for drilling the holes in the near future.


5) Drill through both sides of the stock.Use a light, even pressure so you don't chip/crack the back side of the stock.Once you have finished drilling, remove the protective tape and sand/file/clean up the holes.


6) Install cheek rest, adjust, and go shoot!!!!!

NOTE: The pics taken here are of an old beater stock I practice painting patterns on, and has the cheek rest holes already drilled.This is why I did not tape the stock sides.These pics are just to show the steps involved.

These instructions and pics can be e-mailed out to those who want them.

HTH.
