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!
