Tourbon Cheek Riser Adjustable Cheek Rest... or similar?
I found this on Amazon. It's Chinese-made, cheap, but has decent ratings from users.

"US Warehouse"... :rolleyes: Also... first time I've seen a solid wooden trigger guard.
I'm wondering if there's something comparable out there that's made closer to home, maybe in FDE or some sort of tan color. I like the following features of this one:
- adjustable height
- ammo carrier
- admin pocket

I like the idea of a stock pack just for the benefit of compact storage for extra ammo, a bore snake, and maybe some small tools. I have one on the way today, and will post photos assuming it arrives.
I think the kydex idea is a way to go. I went to the Karsten website, and WHOA, $60 for a sheet of kydex and some hardware. Yikes. I’ll build one (or seven) before I spend that much. I think I’ll screw one on with flush hardware under the stock pack, if it’ll fit. And I’ll epoxy some Velcro to the top of it so the pack doesn’t slide around.
I’ll carry on all of that discussion in my build thread.

OK, to close this out... I ended up going with the Sniper Stock Pack. How I finally got the one I wanted is a long story, with a lot of help from Bill at TacticalSharpshooter.com and no help from the USPS.
I started by ordering the Hunter Stock Pack. I figured that since the FCP-SR has a fairly small stock, that would be the right size for the rifle. I got a notification Friday that it had arrived in my mailbox. I went to check, and... nothing. No package. I emailed customer service and let them know I was starting a lost package case with USPS, and Bill let me know he’d handle it. He immediately got another one in the mail and sent me a shipping notice with a new tracking number. Saturday, I happened to catch the mail carrier... and she could not have been less helpful in finding my lost stock pack.
On Monday, I had TWO stock packs in my mailbox; the original, and the replacement Bill had sent. The original had the correct mailing label with another sticker on top with the same address and a note, “Please notify shipper of new address.” I vote we make the civil service exam just a little harder.
Anyway, I got my stock pack out and tried it. It fit fine, but I was hoping for more storage. I let Bill know, and he told me the Sniper pack is what I was looking for. He got a new one out to me, and I sent back the other two.
I really like the pack I ended up with. It's multicam with a real suede cheekpiece. TacticalSharpshooter currently offers a variety of colors and few different materials for the cheekpiece.
My plan was to fab up a Kydex cheek riser, screw it to the stock, and then put the stock pack over it. However, the stock pack comes with several velcro strips that serve to raise the cheekpiece up. I don't have a lot of cheek, so I ended up using all six. The photos show the stock pack with all six pieces of velcro. That puts my eye about where I think it'll need to be; I have rings, but I'm still waiting on a scope. I think I'll be able to get away without using the Kydex or drilling holes into my stock.
Another reason for the Kydex was that I thought I'd need to epoxy some velcro strips to it to prevent the stock pack from “rolling,” or shifting around the stock. Once it's fastened on, though, it's pretty resistant to rolling. Even more so with the velcro cheek risers installed underneath.
Inside the stock pack I have a bore snake, 5 rounds of ammo in the sewn-in loops, and a couple of hex wrenches. There's extra room in there for a small handful of other stuff. I'm sure I'll find a way to fill it.
I can't speak to the other products I was looking into, since I didn't end up buying them, but I'm pretty happy with this one.
