b) A simple stock with various spacers. Just take the recoil pad off, insert or take off the right amount of spacers, screw everything in place and you are good to go. Light and very robust. (Thicker recoil pads are also an option)
Some cheek pieces are also made of spacers fixed in a variety of ways.
c) An adjustable lenght of pull mechanism, just like the ones seen on the M4 and a couple of newer assault rifles. Pretty much standard on high-end match rifles. The most flexible and neat solution if it is soldier-proof.
d) A combination of b and c. So you might have a adjustable cheekpiece and spacers for the lenght of pull. Cheekpieces are not that important for red dot sights, but can help when using (big) scopes.
