[QUOTE="sodakota, post: 1685274, member: 81002"] A lot depends on the cartridge. I do not hold my 416 Rigby the same as my 513T 22 LR. On heavy recoil rifles I hold onto the fore end with my knuckles not quite white while keeping that arm as straight as possible. On a target 22 I hold the rifle gently often with an open hand on the fore arm. On lever action light carbines like my 1894 Winchester I like it’s straight grip. On target rifles I like a curved grip. I dislike straight grips like on AR-15’s. Thumbhole stocks are for the wood burner. I don’t like to shoot my Rigby while lying prone, so that would not fit into the picture. [/QUOTE]
