Because of the double triggers (situated where movement to the back trigger is easier, in theory anyway) and straight stocks are more pleasing to the eye for many people, I'm guessing. Where a straight grip bugs me is for rough hunting and I'm at the ready most of the day.......seems to bother my wrist more than a pistol grip. I see what you mean about hanging on with recoil though.

Socialism is almost the worst.
