Many 94 XTR came from factory with silhouette based stocks, especially 7-30 Waters and 307 Win models. It’s possible your butt stock was swapped through Winchester parts by previous owner for one of those in the mid eighties. Preference for use is subjective, don’t discount a silhouette butt stock for increased accuracy when using low power scope or fast fire red dot sight as they really make a difference for eye alignment and handle recoil better. Make sure you’re satisfied with discarding current high comb silhouette stock and future use of scope or red dot. Straight stock will not ride high enough to benefit such a set up, recoil will be felt more as well. If your preference is iron sights and you feel the stock rides to high by all means make the switch.
