They're a lot easier to use from prone, while keeping your head down on the stock, looking through the scope, and maintaining your shooting position.
This. I didn't appreciate the one on my Savage 10-PC until I started shooting prone with it. I like to run the bolt while I still have a cheek-weld and a sight picture. The large handle sure makes it easier.
