Is it just that it puts your trigger finger in a place that pulls straight back?
I have a mcmillan stock coming with a semi palm swell. Not as bad as the tactical types. Guess I will give it another try.
Never really payed much attention to palm swells on rifles in the past. However this past spring I picked up a Browning X-Bolt. It felt odd at first but now I hardly notice it, that is until I pick up one of my rifles that do not have a palm swell.
Not sure what it exactly does but I have definately gotten used to mine.
