It doesn't have a palm rest or hanger but I'm thinking the brass diamond around the forearm retaining screw was to protect the wood and give a more stable mount when a hanger was mounted. The mount on the hanger wouldn't sink into the brass like it would into the walnut. I am thinking the hanger would be mounted with a screw that replaced the forearm screw. I wonder if it could have been an award for competitive shooting and Scott only used it for hunting, not competitive shooting therefor the hunting sights. David
