[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 682717, member: 34084"] I recommend, like others have done, that you make the rifle fit your skeleton, and not visa versa. To convince yourself this the right approach, fabricate a makeshift cheek rest using a rasp file and packing styrofoam or insulation styrofoam from Home Depot. Almost any closed cell foam will work. You can also compress open cell foam using a tight wrap of duct tape. Don't worry about it being pretty. Spend a day shooting with your makeshift rest, then remove it and spend another day shooting without it. I think you will strongly prefer shooting with a proper cheek rest. If so, install a permanent cheek rest (adjustable or custom). There are many options available. If you go with wood block construction, it should be easily removable. Look at it this way, those expensive stocks are worthless to you if they don't fit your frame. [/QUOTE]
