I get it, there’s always workarounds. But let’s design it right from the start. I suggest Sawtooth add those overhangs, plastic for cold weather (like the other hand-touching bits AI made).Comp guys where taking the plastic forend grip/ RRS plate from the AX/ AXMC/ AICS AX, to have a 'flatter' surface of contact (with forend), when rifle was placed on a bag while shooting off a prop.
The Sawtooth dovetail is able blend in, while still giving guys a tripod mounting point, maintaining a low profile, 'flatter' surface of contact.

But yeah man, the design ain't for everyone. I mean, people work out with gloves... so, not much different. lol
