I was playing witht he idea of getting one of the new cheek pieces that they have came out with for thier 2009 models. I checked my Phoenix today and it is one of the newer stocks that will take one but I wanted to here from one of you first to see if it was worth it. I like the idea of having the stock raised a little due to the scope but I didn't know how secure it will be on the stock. I ordered my STS and it should be here Friday so this is the last little add on I was thinking about.

a 5 cent piece of copper pipe insulation works just fine and its nice and warm on your cheek

how do you tell if the stock will accept it or not

Yea, I thought about the pipe insulation but I hate putting tape on the stock…to sticky. Plus the hardwoods camo would look better. I know, I know, looks aren’t everything but it’s still new and it goes along with my OCD (lol). The newer stocks have a series of hash marks just above the trigger guard that run for a short ways length wise along the stock. If the stock has these hash marks then it should accept the cheek piece.
