like trying to figure out how many dogs can live on a piece of property,..........

Sooooo, do you mean "how many" as in the number of dogs that can live on a piece of property or "how (how is it possible that) many dogs can live on a piece of property.........?. Is this a quest for how many dogs can a specific piece of property support or how is it that many dogs can live on a piece of property and not get "cabin fever" if you will?. Just wonderin'.

I  As stated the cheekpiece on the rifle I photographed was too bulky fo rthe stock.  It didn't seem to look that bad in hand but when I saw the photograph and looked closer I wondered how the H--l did I do that?

Some of you guys should write books or at least a couple of articles  considering all the wit and humor posted on a somewhat  mundane topic. Asre the "Golden Mean", some have it innately and are called artists and the rest of us  probably  struggle and go through many erasers to achieve some semblance of what we consider "good enough".  Somehow w/ each LR I build, the cheekpieces get smaller in length and don't protrude as much....looked at my "1st" and wow...the cheekpiece is way, way oversize and very ugly compared  to my newfound mindset of, "smaller is better".  Of course this mindset  has to be tempered w/ good judgement or the result wouldn't be a cheekpiece, but a slight "bump"....Fred

Fred,
That part about the artists is really true.  Probably as long as a cheekpiece looks right and doesn't whack the shooter, it is correct :).

well, i agree with that, too.  unless you're trying to build a 'bench copy' or you're trying to be as HC/PC as you possibly can, the one you're trying to please is the one who looks back from the mirror when you brush your teeth, so make yourself happy with it and then worry about 'what everyone will think.'

just free advice, and no doubt worth what you just paid for it.
