Buttplates
Simple butt plates on wood stock rifles were like that years ago, some one probably just thought it was a good idea, Walther and others did the same, and most still do on wood stocks.
There are more aftermarket butt plates than you can shake a stick at if you wish to change it.
There is a lot of rubbish talked about butt plate and fit, by people who think they are experts, 95 % is irrelevent, the key factor in standing is the length of the stock, many are miles too long and many adjustable stocks are only adjustable from miles too long, to just very long! I've spent a lot of time sawing bits off wood stocks, and machining to get alloy stocks shorter!
Though out my wife's career shooting match air rifle at top level, she always used a wood stock, From LGR, to LG300 and finally to her current LG400 special in a Junior stock, all with a standard Walther rubber butt plates, but she was manic on the length of stock, it had to be correct to the mm.
