[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 907062, member: 5219"] While I don't own one, I have shot the Lawson thumbholes on several occasions. Lawson's thumbhole is far more refined than other thumbholes. It was designed for offhand hunting. Harry Lawson created this stock in the 60s with the intent that it would be fast and mitigate recoil. I am friends with the current owner Randy Lawson (the late Harry's son) and visit his shop often. I have been going there for over 25 yrs. I go to them for gunsmithing that I cannot perform myself. Randy designed the McMillan Lazzeroni thumbhole sporter as well as the McMillan Lazzeroni sporter for John Lazzeroni's rifles. The straight line of the stock plus the large thumbhole at a comfortable angle and the wide flared recoil pad help soften the recoil. Lawson has uses a crossbolt safety in the trigger guard something that the other thumbholes don't offer. The thumbhole is also offered in a laminate. Here are a few pictures of a left handed Lawson thumbhole: [URL=http://s206.photobucket.com/user/RossLeggett/media/Lawsonthumbholeandothergunstuff003_zps48359591.jpg.html][IMG]http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb4/RossLeggett/Lawsonthumbholeandothergunstuff003_zps48359591.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://s206.photobucket.com/user/RossLeggett/media/Lawsonthumbholeandothergunstuff001_zps26534e2d.jpg.html][IMG]http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb4/RossLeggett/Lawsonthumbholeandothergunstuff001_zps26534e2d.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s206.photobucket.com/user/RossLeggett/media/Lawsonthumbholeandothergunstuff004_zpsa894f710.jpg.html][IMG]http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb4/RossLeggett/Lawsonthumbholeandothergunstuff004_zpsa894f710.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s206.photobucket.com/user/RossLeggett/media/Lawsonthumbholeandothergunstuff005_zps05776f6a.jpg.html][IMG]http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb4/RossLeggett/Lawsonthumbholeandothergunstuff005_zps05776f6a.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
