I too like the thumbhole stock and really want one, but my thumb does not think so. I have been blessed with fingers that are strong, but a bit on the stubby side. So when I tried the thumbhole stock, the reach for the trigger was longer than I was comfortable with. Talked to a rep from boyds, and they said they cannot place the hole farther forward due to not enough material to withstand recoil. So I guess I do not see a thumbhole stock in my future
