What is everybody using on their cheek piece to keep it from sliding.

Suede Leather or Alcantara glued on to cheek piece works really well.

Chamois leather was my choice, but I found that I no longer needed it after I reshaped the cheekpiece with plastic wood. Once I had a better fit to locate my cheekbone on (for me an almost sharp edge) my cheek didn't slip.

Tennis racket overgrip on double stick tape. Slightly tacky and works when your hot and sweaty.

My Annie has the "precise" cheekpiece, with the angled plastic cheek rest. It fits in between my jaw and cheekbone the same as yours does. No slip unless it gets sweaty like at Perry or other summer outdoor ranges. My FWB also has a sharp cheekpiece, it locks in too. Very repeatable positioning
Look at the Pardini GPR1, it has even a sharper cheekpiece than an Anschutz or FWB. Looks almost uncomfortable.

glued a thin sheet of cork
feels warm in the winter, doesn't slip, absorbs sweat and if it gets dirty just go over it with some sandpaper
I replace it every season, it's very cheap
