Very nice but worthless to me. I'd never be able to get my left thumb in that hole. Can't wait to hear reports on it.

The fit and feel of the thumbhole stocks are different. I suggest anyone interested in purchasing one, test it first. There's been reports of disappointments and quick sales, from those that purchased prior to handling / shouldering this type of gunstock.

There's less gray area with this design. Shooters seem to either either love them or hate them.

Is that WD-40 right behind those two big jugs for shining the thumbhole, or cleaning-up all that spent Blackhorn powder?

Between the new gun and 10 lbs of Blackhorn, that's quite a chunk of change spent there. Now don't forget to spend equal-amounts on the household Mrs. now.

He needs that much powder and bullets to be able to harvest enough game to feed all them munchkins

Good luck, hope to see some harvest pics soon!

Is Bestill going to shoot the match with it or just test it out on the range there?

His Omega build/s have done very well in competition.
