Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What are the attributes of a thumb hole stock in a hunting rifle?

I've got one on an Encore as well. It handles well and mounts quickly, I wouldn't say any better than the regular Encore stock, but it's at least as good.

I generally don't like them either, but it's better than the regular Encore. I would say the weight difference isn't that much, given the dimensions of the Encore stock. It seems slimmer with the thumbhole.
