Whoever's rifles you were handling clearly was misinformed about how much torque is generally required to have the cheekpiece set for the shooter to achieve the appropriate height. Your resting your cheek on the cheekpiece, not parking your pickup truck on it, the McMillian stocks employ an un-anodized/bare piece of aluminum for threading in which the thumbwheels mate up with the riser bar for the appropriate height. Not much torque is needed as again you are not (or should not) be pressing down with an absolute insane amount of force, while that is a downfall of the stock system (with that cheekpiece as its selected option) in my mind, a simple re-threading job to an upsized thread will suffice (with the appropriate corresponding thumbwheeler threads of course) and then taking note to NOT OVERTIGHTEN the screws as bare aluminum doesn't play well with threading constantly. The bare aluminum block is permanently epoxied into the rear of the stock, so it would require a pretty good amount of machining for removal/replacement to something stronger.

The folding stock systems employ a more robust setup, and one that does NOT have the threading pitfalls of the McMillian...

There has been no misinformation, this isn't a problem with 1 rifle, it's a problem with every one I have shot for any period of time. (More than 2 or 3) My comment was in regards to cranking them down tight to prevent them from rattling loose. It always seems to be one problem or the other, either it loosens off, or you they end up too tight so they don't loosen off.
I personally think it is a terrible design for a cheek piece, I suggest to any one that wants to buy one of these rifles to spring for a different cheek piece set up. Much like priaireguys set up.

It would be a simple fix for McMillian to beef up that system for the saddle style cheek piece, and Im surprised they haven't... but I always enjoyed the secondary option as Prairieguys rifle shows its definitely a far better option thats for sure. :d
 
Here is a simple fix...........

I had the same issue with the screws backing off on the cheek rest on my Timberwolf. I cut a piece of foam the proper thickness to to fit under the cheek rest for my desired height. Screws rarely back off now and if they do, no change in cheek rest height.

Since we are showing our toys. As you can see, I've swapped out a couple of parts. Also, I'd like to add that I didn't like the cheek piece as well, so I also had a custom cheek piece made thats not shown in the photo.
 
I bought one last week off the EE, so glad I got one, I put a vortex 6-24x50 on it whilst I wait for a Gen 2 razor.
The bolt is so smooth and it has the metal folding stock that is built like a tank.
From all of the research I did, they seem to hold there value very well
