Ok I finally got all the info together, and I got the go ahead from Lowlight to move on with this.
I have the group buy ready now until 04/18/2011. I need a total of 25 people committed to get this moving and if by 4/18 there are not enough I will refund everyone their money. I'm not making any money which is why I need everyone to pay if they want one, I can't take the risk of losing out.
Ok, so once the group buy is done they should ship out a week later after I get the spacers done.
Thanks for the enthusiasm everyone! This is really a solid cheek rest and a big thanks to XLR for having these available.

After owning my Quad trainer in a manners stock for a while and my new GAP wearing the same dress, I wanted a light cheek piece option. Since the beginningI wanted to keep my rifle as light as possible and still have the parts that I wanted especially a specific barrel contour, which is why I didn't buy an adjustable stock to begin with. I know there are certain options out on the market, but I wasn't happy with how they looked. I know that maybe a bit taboo, but I like things to look good as well they function.
I played around with the idea of making my own, but once I looked into it, I didn't have the time to devote to a project like that. It would be fun though. I called up XLR Industries and inquired about ordering just their cheek piece. Expecting the finger for such an oddball request, they were really friendly and I ordered 2 for my stocks.
After installing them, these were the cheek pieces I was looking for. Robust, well made and fit like a glove. I mounted them using stainless hardware that I am going to paint, and I have some small fluted knobs on order to replace the nuts on the opposite side.
Here are the pics. Big thanks to XLR!
