I was thinking about trying the RAT pad: RAT Pads | RAT Grips and adding it to my AICS riser.
Really just need to add some tackiness to the riser I already have, although I do LOVE the Victor Co. Skin - I was looking to upgrade the riser bolts for thumb screws but NOT for $33.00 for TWO bolts! UGH!

Having a stock on my R700 purchased from the folks at McRee, I did the same for my AI. It has the synthetic material thats comfortable for the cheek. The part I like best is that it has a zippered pouch on the opposite side. In the pouch I put tools needed to fit that rifle and scope. Along with extra ear plugs and a small note pad and a mechanical pencil. By doing that you always have tools on hand should you need to adjust or repair something. The pad I can keep track of round count and cleaning cycles or other info for that rifle. When the rifle is sold the note pads goes with it, giving the next owner a history log that they can refer too.
pics? Place of purchase?
I purchased them from McRee Precision. The rear loop can be changed depending on your preference. They work for both left and right handed shooters and with dual zippers you can have it open for either side.

Is that a AI stock in the background? Looks like a nice addition.
Lobo,
Yep it's one of the last of the AE models.

I actually went with this one instead: http://estore.jwwinco.com/default.aspx?page=item detail&itemcode=653.10-M5-25-ST-MS
Brass tip and 25mm length to stick out a tad. At $5.35 a piece, that is more in line for a BOLT.

I like the MOLESKIN idea.

Just ordered one! Thanks for the link and info.
The Flat Knobs #5N25F48 From J.W. Winco Inc. M5 X 25 DIN653 FLAT KNRLD THUMB SCREW seem to really do the trick. And at under 8 bucks delivered! (I ordered an extra one - just just in case) Think I'll be going with the sticky upgrade pad from Viperskins. Thanks again for the tip!

For those that wonder what the difference is between the two thumb screws for the AICS cheek piece here is a reference photo
top are the plain ones bottom are the screws wight he brass inserts:
The brass filled screws just feel better snugging them down and don't mar up the pins on the cheek riser - but are a bit more in cost.

To rundm,
Where do you find $30 for 2 screws? Are they just some quickies? Or she just not that good looking.
