Hi mbrave:
Yes, i make them for all my rifles, even my Contender carbine. I use a piece of 2 by 4 drill through it with my drill press for a 1/4 by 20 bolt, and put a 1/4 by 20 anchor into the bottom of the stock to hold it on. How high the knee rest ends up being depends on the rifle stock shape, and who I making the knee rest for. More often than not I cut down the 2 by 4 and add another piece of 2 by 4 that has bee cut to just over 2 inches wide. Then I grind the wide side into a semi circle into the bottom using the top part of my belt sander. this centers it on the knee. I then attach this to the other piece of 2 by 4. Then stain to match or paint however you want it.
It is simple and it works better than any of the pricey contraptions that you can buy........ and it unscrews in less than a minute. The only real marks on the stock are the anchors. I usually only use one anchor and use another hole in the stock like the main stock bolt hole or such to add a round headed screw to the knee riser that matches the hole in the stock. This keeps the riser form moving.
