Hi Dave, before I begin thanks for all your support!
I feel the 12BVSS has such a large chunk of wood that can easily be made more shooter specific. Would be a shame not to use such a very stable epoxy bound wood laminate in such cases. Because of the wood/epoxy laminate a person may want shorten it a tad and add adjustable butt plate as well.
In the 70's there were very few aluminum chassis for LR shooting. Almost every bull barrel was seated in wood. My plan is bringing those days back with the 12BVSS. To many chassis of plastic and aluminum chassis these days, its time to show these youngins the beauty of wood! HAHAHA!!! Ahhh its good to dream again and have a goal! HAHAHa!!!
God Bless all

12BVSS Cheek Riser Layout
Dave and others! Well I could not wait anymore and I am tired of Squinting at TV. So for 4 hours in the gunroom sitting in my chair I taped the entire stock. I managed to find the vertical center of the comb front to back using a scope reticle level and carpenters level. I also created a 2 3/4" datum line. From there is was measuring / dividing. Its hard for me to navigate stairs so instead of going up them and back down to obtain my good compass in the Garage. I used my coffee cup cap for the Front of the Cheek Riser soft incline.
Heres the completed layout ready for the Bandsaw! Attachment 10446.
Sorry this one is inverted still learning how to add photos! It shows how I used my scope reticle level to find the Center Line of the Comb. Attachment 10448
