kooter Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Does anyone use these for their hunting rifles? I am wanting to get one for my TC Encore this year. Just wondering if they are worth the money for anything besides looks? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Re: Thumbhole stocks I like the feel of a good thumbhole....I do not have one, but have shot several rifles with one. I would probably not buy one as an add on unless I had the money to blow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Re: Thumbhole stocks I don't mind the looks of them. They do aid in offhand shooting and from a benchrest. Their drawbacks are they add weight, are harder to carry, and make it hard if I have to shoot left handed for some reason. If I was to add weight to a gun, I would add it to the barrel, not the stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I like a thumbhole for offhand standing shots as it lowers the elbow allowing you to pull it closer to the body. I absolutely hate a thumbhole when shooting off a bench. I find the angle it puts the trigger hand very awkward from a bench position. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
