Handstops, Mine is "killing" me

[ptf18]

Thanks for your input TIm. I've bedded rifles before and feel confident that I can successfully do the "wood work" on this gun. Any suggestions of a manufacture of the metal work items.... ie for the adjustable checkpiece and buttplate? I am leaning toward the items produced by Graco as they are of "simple" construction and allow enough adjustment for the 50 and 100 yard distances.

I'll keep you all posted.

The Graco parts look sturdy, but the cheekpiece won't be easy to adjust. Do you plan to use the adjustment only for elevation changes, and to modify the cheekpiece for basic fit? I find fine adjustment is really helpful for every day use, especially if you can adjust in position.

Being in the UK, I'm afraid I don't know good sources stateside. There was a set of cheekpiece hardware made by a Doug Keener(sp ?) mentioned on here a while back, but I don't know if that's still available.
