Jack,
I imagine its because you sight a rifle and point a shotgun. The cheeckpiece is a fancy aid to line up the eye to the sights.
Not as important with a shotgun.
Of course the cheeckpiece is not needed as other forms of stock design will do the same thing. A cheeckpiece just looks good.
JMO.
Looking forward to an experts opinion though.
Absolutely correct! The properly positioned cheek piece on a double rifle is a very important feature on a well fitted double rifle!
