Have a T&Td 200 action pillar bedded in a Boyds Prairie Hunter with a PST 2.5-10 in Vortex low rings.

Rifle shoots very, very well but could use improvement re the cheek weld. Have been looking at something like this:

Like the way it melds to the stock vs a Karsten etc.

Has anyone used this product, or can recommend an alternative?

Thanks, Matt.

I was pretty impressed by the quality of this Karsten knock-off:

If you don't want to drill holes through your stock, you could always just get one of those blackhawk-type ones that cinches on with a cord. I have one on my 10/22 and like it.

If you don't mind a one that uses straps I use this on my 7mm-08 and have been pretty pleased with it. Plus they come with velcro inserts that you can put you can put inside to raise your cheek weld.

I made my own Karsten knock-offs for about $5 each. Just cut out a pattern on paper, traced it onto a piece of Kydex, cut it out with a dremel and sanded the edges. Then heated it in the oven on a cookie sheet at 250 for 10 mins... Pullet it out with a hot pad, laid it over the stock and held it in place for a few minutes with the hot pad. Once it cooled, I drilled holes through it and the stock with a hand drill. Got the hardware at ACE. Made up 4 of them in about an hour start to finish. If you want to re-shape it a little when done, just put a heatgun to it and shape it as you like. Can't imagine anything easier.

I have tried one of the glue ons and they work but if the glue doesn't get a good grip on your stock it will fall off in cold weather or super wet weather.

You could also try ratgrips. That's about as custom fit as you could get.

I'll throw another vote in for the Triad Tactical stock pack. I love mine. Very comfortable and almost infinitely adjustable with all the Velcro straps plus the inserts for the cheek height. Lots of different options on their website and for 40 bucks much cheaper and less invasive than cutting/drilling/modifying your current stock.
