The problem stems from the different angles of the butts flat (f-r) and the angle of the flat between the bags ears (f-r). As the gun moves rearward in recoil, this relationship changes as does the point-of-contact between the butt and the flat between the ears on the bag.

Dwight Scott suggested this to me many years ago.

EDITOR: Butch–what you say make sense. Jason Baney likes to do the same thing–have the left and right “corners” of the bottom flat floating slightly above the stitching. But if the flat is of typical width these days (for a “coffin” style stock profile), one will still need greater separation between the bottoms of the ears and that’s what we intended to illustrate. Thanks for your insight!
