Also used foam and tape to have a more vertical grip, I really don't like the more conventional sloping grip. In my case 95% of shots I take are from prone or a field rest of some kind. Not very many standing shots in the open country.

It would be good to see some photos of what you came up with...really interested in the effect of the cheek riser had on how vertical your head is. I suspect an advantage of foam is that it conforms to the shooter and allows the head to stay vertical (which I think is massively important in all sports)
