thing was to design a high cheek piece that would allow for a tall cheek weld but did not look out of place on the stock. The way the receiver is built, there are two long extensions that run from the end of the receiver back into the wrist of the stock. Because of the upper finger, I could not start the front of the cheek piece any sooner than is shown. I considered shortening the upper finger, but that is where some of the Winchester markings are located. With a 3" eye relief, this scope allows me to place my head in a comfortable position while shooting. I started to put a schutzen style butt plate on it, but decided to use a Winchester marked red pad instead. All of the wood work was done with hand tool such as chisels and scrapers. The stock and forend came out of the same walnut blank.
