Thumbhole or classic style stock?

[7pointbull]

For hunting rifles. I am going to change the stocks on my hunting rifles and would like some opinions from people that have tried both. What do you prefer and why? The thumbhole stocks feel good but I have never tried one in a hunting situation.

thanks

Good question.
I like them at the bench but have no practical experience in the field.
I like pistol grip stocks like AR15.

For hunting, I like tradtional-styled stocks.

I prefer stocks of classic lines. Call me a Purist.....
