I occasionally get a piece of closed-cell foam pipe insulation to use as a cheek piece to get the proper eye alignment with the scope. I'll generally put it under one of those buttstock cartridge carriers from Allen.
You may want something less WECSOG, but the pipe insulation works great for me. |

+100 for PawPaw, That's exactly how I do it when I need a higher cheek rest. Also there is a fella on You Tube, that helps you set up your rifle for long range shooting, (he has a lot of helpful tips) and he explains how to make a cheek rest.

You could also restock the rifle with one that is designed for BR.

Savage uses the Karsten on their Long Range Hunter rifles. I like the simplicity and folks I've talked to like them, but I'd hate to drill holes in my wood stocks. |

I like that also, but wouldn't be interested in drilling wood stocks but every synthetic stock that I have will get one of those if needed.

Cheek eez
You may want to try a Cheek eez, that is made by Kickeez. There are several different thicknesses available up to 1/4". Several suppliers sell them for about $16.

Add a piece of pipe insulation, then duct tape it on your stock. Keep adding duct tape till you get the proper height.
