Upper rifle in top picture is best for 3 position; prone, kneeling and standing.

Lower rifle in top picture is best for prone.

Difference is the stock shape and attachments.

Thank you; so, the prone rifle has no thumb hole or butt hook, but it has adjustable butt pad for up/down, but can't be "canted". Butt stock is not as tall to allow a lower hold.

Some 22 rimfire match rifles have their rear sight canted 30 degrees to compensate for cross wind. Winds from 3 o'clock cause bullets to drift toward 10 o'clock on target; towards 4 o'clock with wind from 9.

This is for barrels with right hand twist.
