Just wondering, why isn't this stock style more common when it comes to long range target shooting?
Obviously it isn't practical for a hunting rifle that might be shot off-hand or from some position other than prone.
I caught the tail end of a bench rest match at my range awhile back. Heavy Varmint class, so the rifles didn't quite look like lathes, but they were still 15 plus pound guns. A few had the reduced forend style stocks, but most were in something like the Manners F-Class.
Just seems like alot of wasted material considering the barrel is free floated, it isn't used for the support hand and the bipod can be mounted just fine on the Blaser style stock.
TLDR Howcome I don't see many other stocks like pic related
