The stock design was strictly to maximise the wood used per rifle. It was NOT done for anything resembling shooter comfort.
I would much rather shoot two full boxes of hot 180 grain loads out of my Ruger MK II .300 win mag than a single stripper clip out of 03-A3
It is a beautiful rifle though with a great history
