Cheek Rest yes or no

I ordered a new Shiloh Sharps not long ago. I'll be a year older when I pick it up. But have not got to the final stage yet, so I've got time to make changes. Can anybody give me some PROS and CONS of a cheek rest? The rifle will be used for target and silhouette shooting. The rifle I ordered, think of a 74 Creedmoor Target rifle as the one in the 2004 calalog. Give it a 30" barrel and a double set trigger, the rest is the same.

Thanks Don

I have a M74 w/ the cheek piece & accent line.

I found that the cheek piece provides some support for my cheek when sighting the rifle, esp. @ longer ranges when the sight staff is elevated.

Besides providing my face some support, IMHO the cheek piece and the accent line adds to the visual appeal of the rifle.

Sporter #1 with accent line.

For me, I like the additional support and comfort I feel I have with it.

Looks? I think it enhances the looks of a custom rifle.

I have a #1 Sporter with the cheek piece and accent line, feels good and looks better.

If you opt for the cheek rest get the accent line also .
