Fox Outdoor Products Shotgun Butt Stock Cheek Rest - 8" x 4.75" - Adjustable Comfort Pad for Hunting & Shooting - Perfect for Shotguns, Rifles & Firearms Accessories - Ideal for Hunting, Range Practice & Outdoor Sports

For 12-gauge or 20-gauge this is a convenient way to carry twelve, that's right twelve spare shells and give you a soft cushion to boot.There are two panels; one for 5-rounds and a second for seven rounds. Decide what you want to carry on the outside and store the rest on the inside, zippered pouch. Both panels are interchangeable according to your storage preferences. Simply pull them off their respective Velcro mounts and swap them out.The zipper is strong and stitching is well done all around. The pouch side is made of heavy fabric while the cheek rest portion is a vinyl material. Heavy bordering is used on all edges.It will take some patience to mount on your shotgun stock, but once installed I believe that you will like it.Remove the three side straps and fit the cheek rest to your stock using the rear strap. Once satisfied, install each of the three straps according to the dimensions of your stocks at the three mounting points. Leave some slack in the straps, because you are going to need it.Then, loop each strap through the restraining loops, as needed, to secure the unit to the stock. Next attach each strap back onto the Velcro of each strap. If you have a little excess, you have a two choices; remove the strap and readjust, or tuck the straps in the cheek rest. Installation will take some fiddlin' but that's what we like to do.The pad is thick enough for comfort and only raises the comb of the stock by the thickness of the pad; this is a welcome thing on a shotgun - cushioning for those chubby cheeks of yours.I prefer this product over a side-saddle but you can mount one of those to provide even more spare rounds to the load.20-gauge is about the lower limit for the expandable shell holders, as they may not hold .410 shells tight enough for your liking. They are perfect for 20-gauge (see accompanying images) and 12-gauge is not be a problem. You may also opt to just store loose rounds in the zippered pouch instead of using the panel. The inside panel, aside from storing spare shotgun shells, can also be used to store a multi-tool or a few sticks of your favorite beef jerky or Slim-Jim snacks. The option is yours.I have several of these units for both shotgun and hunting rifles and they have served me well in both cases (no pun intended).This was a good item at a good price. I Bought this item for my crossbow. I do not use my crossbow much and almost never take it out into the woods or anything like that. It servers sell for storage of small items and gave me a location to put on my Zombie Hunter patch(I know I am a dork). There was some imperfections with the stiching but I only paid $11.99 plus shipping for it. I think it does well for airsoft etc. But if you are a operator in the field pribably best to spend extra money on a more durable pouch. Some of the threading was coming off so I seared it with a later so the thread would not continue to run.This is my second one. The first I put on my RAR 30-06. Both are fine. Light weight material and Velcro holds fine.I wish they had a way to fix padding on the underside to raise you cheek. This is my main reason for putting these on a firearm.I simply put some foam padding under it. Was hoping for something more solid.These do seem to work ok.the product is ok if your just looking for something to carry shells in but not last years in years, and by me saying years and years i mean the elastic shell holders. keep them filled for a month and those things will be sliding out of holder on any hunt or light jog!It holds the shells alright and helps with cheek slap from a 12 gauge with a high-comb stock. I just wish the strap system was a little better thought out.Good product but the velcro straps are too long and extend beyond the shape of the cheek rest. No real problem.Works as expected. It took some time to adjust it to properly fit but once that's done it suits my needs well.It does function ok if your trying to save money. I think there is better options out there. I would recommend searching for something better if your looking for something to last longer with abuse.
