Hello Waidmannsheil,

Thanks for your reply.

One of the features that I really like about this rifle's stock is the "Palm Swell".

This feature goes a long way to reduce recoil. The Swell fills your hand when you grip the rifle, and actually pushes your hand rearward during recoil. This adds the weight of your hand, wrist, forearm, and part of your upper arm, to the weight of the rifle. And ..... this added weight, reduces recoil.
