Something like a sanding drum kit and some crayon or something similar will help. You rub the crayon along both sides of the butt and then slide the cheekrest back and forth along the buttstock in the right place and angle. The crayon will show where you need to carefully remove some wood with the sanding drums. A little at a time...vary which diameter sanding drum by what is close the the radius you need...

It should sit down flush when you're done. Don't drill the holes and try to draw it down unless it sits flush first, you may crack it. You don't remove anything from the buttstock.
Thanks all!
I checked out the links above and after the clarification here on where the crayon goes, whittled this rest down and put it all together.

I need to restain the rest, locktite the scope mount and rings, and test it out, but the scope height and cheek rest all give a nice eye relief and is comfortable.

I did mount the scope with the turrets forward of both rings, the rear of the scope's eyepiece is ~1.5" behind the cocking piece, so it sits ok by me.

A lot of the scope setups I have seen "look" to be WAY high and WAY too close to the eye.

Will post pics sometime I hope.
