Re: Thumbhole Stock Recommendations
Patrick,
The modern rifle stock has developed over centuries, retaining the features that worked and dropping the ones that did not.
The thumbhole stock is a gimmic to increase rifle sales to "uninformed", to be polite, buyers. Has nothing to do with an "imaginary backwoods fashon show". There is no way that a thumbhole stock facilitates proper handling. What if you miss the thumbhole with your thumb? Why do you need glass, plasitc or wood over the top of your thumb? What purpose does it serve?
If some physical anomoly is present that requires a very low grip on the stock, which would reduce recoil control, still no need to put crap over the top. It is an amature marketing gimmic, heavier than need be and cumbersome.
