G'day there, but of a basic question, but after doing one repair on a stock which required drilling through the stock I found it hard to find something use to ensure the drill went straight through the stock. Essentially with the drill press and the curved sides of the stock it was all guess work. I know I could use some of the surfaces inside the stock to gauge if it were perfectly upright partially but not entirely, and even then the surfaces in there are tiny and hard to use, and even the it was impossible to keep the stock in one place. In the end I went by eye and it worked, but I don't want that.

Being an inexperienced person with no real workshop time means this is probably a dumb question for the veterans on here, but any help is appreciated.
