Who makes the cheek rest that you have?

That is correct.
There is an aluminum block that sits in a milled hole in the top of the but stock. The saddle cheek piece has a rectangular post that it slides up or down in the aluminum block. The side screws hold it in place. It's very solid although if I were to buy another McMillian stock I'd probably spend the $ on the one with the built it adjustable cheek piece.

I was reminded today of why I don't shoot much past 100M. First, the trail past 100M gets pretty narrow..and by the time I put up the target and take it down, I feel like a tightrope walker who has just been out on the rope for a mile. Then, I discovered that the flags I put up could not be seen in the scope picture with the target so that was a waste of time. Once I started shooting, my 18X scope could not pick up indidviual holes until the group started to develop so with each group, I had no idea if I was wasting time until I went to pick up the target.....and sighting at 300M takes me a lot longer than at a hundred. And, with the little breeze there was, it was darned hard on my eyes. Oh well, all is well that ends well.

Bought it from Jefferson who got it from ... a buddy who got it direct from Paul Reibin (in BC). I passed up the sister stock with a Barnard S block about six months ago..Jefferson had that one as well, not sure if he sold it?
 
" A GOOD DAY @ THE 300 METER RANGE " -------------- " ALL THE STARS LINED UP "

Had a chance to get to the range yesterday ( Sunday ) & do some shooting. Little overcast in the a.m. but by noon - sunny & about 7*C.- VERY LIGHT BREEZE!!!
Took along what I will call " RIFLE # 1 " as that is how I referred to it when I shot it in the 1/2" @ 100yd.- challenge.

Anyways --- Rifle & Results.
