That will work fine. Most cheek pieces unless custom made you are only in contact with the upper comb portion. I like the Whelen sort of saddle cheek piece especially if I fit it to the way I mount a rifle, but other rifles like my Dakota I never notice the lack of a cheek piece. The omission of the cheek piece reduces weight more than drilling holes in the butt of the stock. I think the cheek piece was adopted from the Shultzen rifles and is mostly an embellishment. Some black powder rifles had them but I think this also came from target rifles. Not sure where it originated from initially.

Look at the Biesen rifle stocks they do the larger comb radius to perfection.
