The Boyds Varmint Thumbhole design is a synthesis of design elements requested by you, the customer, for a thumbhole design.
With a large rollover cheek piece for scope usage and straight comb design to minimize cheek slap when shooting, the hand conforming thumbhole allows for increased accuracy while distributing the recoil among the palm and shoulder. This minimizes muzzle jump and felt recoil.
The Varmint Thumbhole has a beaver-tailed designed forend that is flat/oval in shape allowing for superior palm to forend weld to help improve off-hand shooting. It is also wide and flat enough to set up for long range bag work.
Varmint Thumbhole Features:
- Cooling Vents - adds to the aesthetics and increases cooling area around barrel for those longer sessions at the range.
- Customers will have the ability to open the forend to accept barrels up to 1 1/4"" wide
- 1/2"" Rubber recoil pad for quick non-slip mounting
- Includes 2 front and 1 rear blued swivel stud. No sharp edges on bottom of stock - gives a sleeker design and helps when shifting stock in shooting sticks
