Hi folks,

I'm looking at picking up a smaller bore double rifle, in 9.3x74R and one of the firm contenders is a Krieghoff classic.

I was wondering what your thoughts are on the Bavarian style cheek piece? Are they comfortable to shoot and do you get a decent cheek weld when using a scope?
They do appear to be quite sharp in the comb, and I've read about German guns being set up for more of a chin weld as opposed to a cheek weld. I'll be using this on plains game mainly so most of my shots are going to made with a scope attached.

They can do an English style pancake cheekpiece with a shadowline, but of course its extra money and I'm wondering if it's worth the investment.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
