I am an Thumb Hole enthusiast.
Some are badly done (the Chinese MAK90 is awful)
I do like pistol grip though so I took a chance on a Boyd's for my first target stock. This was exclusively bench rest shooting.
Loved it, got two more. One and EABS which is about a good and the other another Boyds.
To me its not only more natural, you have a better trigger control with it.
I don't know how they would do hunting, but my take is that its not enough difference to be relevant.
They do have a high rise cheek rest on the side the shooters cheek rest is.
Left handed would have it on the right side.
