Default LRH: Regular or Thumbhole?

May pull the trigger on buying a Knight Long range hunter. Would you get a regular or thumbhole and why? The thumbhold is only $30 more. TIA

While the thumb hole is a bit more awakward to carry it makes a differance in off hand accuracy if use correctly, you have much better leverage for squeezing the trigger. Lee

I have to agree with Lee on that, they are very steady for shooting and very comfortable for shooting off a bench.

Well, thanks for the input. I decided on the regular version. It is what I am used to, and I think it will work out the best for me. With the Cabelas bucks I had saved, it cost me $85 out of pocket. Just too good to pass up!

Now I have to decide if I really want to keep the KRB I bought last year. Couldn't get but maybe $100 for it with its current new price of $150.
