I have a manners T5 without cheek adjustment (us lefties have to take what's available so it wasn't preference). I would like to raise the cheek position a bit. Which aftermarket bits do you guys use. I saw an AIM cheekpiece for around 30 quid which can be had in left hand as well. Any thoughts? I'll likely grab one at the shooting show on the 16th.

I have fitted a couple of Karsten cheek pieces http://www.karstenskydexcheekrest.com/ and really like them. They are made from Kydex (what they make the interiors of commercial airplanes out of) and it is really easy to form over a suitably sized piece of pipe with a hairdryer/paint stripper gun (but not on full pelt!). You can get Kydex sheets on E... sometimes.

I use a Blackhawk one which fits with velcro straps and built it up to correct height with pipe-lagging. I am a lefty too but the Blackhawk is ambi.
