[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 2478538, member: 10284"] I did that a while back and the response I got was "it's a place to put your hand". So I asked why can't I put my hand in the same place without the cut out? "well I guess you could" was the response. Here is bell & carlson's reasoning that I found on Stocky's......just happened to be for a Browning... Bell and Carlson's Medalist "Hook" Model was designed as a drop-in for the heavy barrel Browning A-Bolt short action and WSSM actions. It has an extended grip and a fairly wide forend with dual front sling studs to allow for both bipod and sling attachment. The hooked cutout underside is designed as a steady-holding feature - simply jam your off-hand into the recess for an isometrically-solidified rest, ideal for varmint, target or tactical field applications! Isometrically-solidified rest? Huh?🤔 Who puts their off hand way up there? And how much stuff get's hung up in the hook when you're carrying the rifle?
