I recently acquired a Savage Mark II FVT, which I love so very very much.
There's just one problem: even when I weld my cheek as far up the comb as I can, my line of sight is merely right down the bore of the barrel, such that I can see the rifling if the bolt is removed. I have solved this problem by taping a thick (about two-inches) paperback book on top of the comb, but I'm left wondering, is it just that my form is off? And if not, is my face sufficiently abnormal to render my line of sight that out of whack? And lastly, what are others' experiences with this? If it's common, I sure pity the bloke who has to try to shoot his service rifle accurately with his eye an inch below the sight-line.
When I form my cheek-weld, my cheekbone is on top of the stock, and the gums of my upper row of teeth are pressing my skin into the side of the stock.
