The rounder forend can help you deal with rifle cant better in field conditions, as nice as a wide flat forend is at the range, it can be a bit of a PITA in the field at times. I have a fiairly narrow flat forend on my one varmint gun, OK for gophers and such on a flat field, my SxS has a "flatter" style on the beavaertail style forend, but is still round enough to work well on sticks, with a small bag. When working with a gun on the range, hard to beat a butt stock that is straight on the bottom, heel to grip, often curse the tapered butt on a hunting riifle in that regard. Having flush mount sling swivels is a plus to me, one on the front end of the forend and one up on the side of the butt, gets them out of the way too, they make sense when using a synthetic stock.
