Re: McMillan Cheek Piece Options
I have the saddle mount on both my A5 stocks.
I did, however, find that the thumb screws came loose after 5 or 6 rounds with the .308 and 3 or 4 with the .338LM, so I got 8 10-32 x 1/2" set screws and added them to the stocks. The downside is that you need to carry an Allen wrench but that's no biggie.

Tell McMillan when you order the stock you want it set up for the KMW loggerhead cheekpiece. When you get the stock, then send it to Terry for the mod.

Re: McMillan Cheek Piece Options
Among the McMillan options, I prefer the Integral over the Saddle version.
The Integral cheekrest's mounting piece which contains the two vertical posts is mounted to the cheekpiece block with screws. The screws are inserted through slotted holes which allow a small but significant degree of lateral cheekrest block positioning.
Such lateral adjustment is not available when specifying the Saddle cheek rest.
It's a small thing, but I think it's important.
