Title: Thumbhole or Straight Stock
Post by: BiggMayn on August 18, 2013, 08:47:10 PM: I've decided to pick up a new Bighorn, the question now is which stock to go with. Sportsman's Warehouse has the Thumbhole for $329.99 online with a discount code or I can get the Straight for $379.99 in the store. Which way would you guys go?

I agree - I hated thumbhole, except on the range, never - ever thought I would hunt with one... But I do now and would not switch back - I could but really do prefer the TH...
