And another thing: an interesting dimension I see repeated over and over again on best quality British bolt actions: the lenth of the forearm from the front of the receiver ring to the tip of the forearm will be nearly identical to the distance from the front of the receiver ring back to the trigger.
A little more is fine, a little less is fine, but that distance seems to look perfect, and is too commonly repeated to be accidental.
My favorite stock design (taken from a Westley Richards) has an 8" forend. I use this for everything, whether it is for a Mauser, SMLE, Marlin, whatever. And I like plenty of drop at heel as well. If a stock is too straight, it tends to be awkward, at least in my experience.
