What is the function of the cutout in the stock halfway between the receiver and stock on those brownings?

Serious 22lr rifles.
Background is a 40X with the action trued, benchrest stock, Harrell tuner and weight, Jewell 2oz trigger, Benchmark barrel, Weaver T36. (I came in 2nd place in TX in 2012 in small bore benchrest with this rifle.)
Foreground: Myers action with Myers barrel, Harrell tuner and weight, Jewell 4oz trigger, benchrest stock, Weaver T36. (smithed by nat'l small bore benchrest champ)
[yes they were expensive..and yes, they are exceptionally accurate]

The rifle pictured in the first post in this thread came with two stocks. This is the other one. Don Stith BR laminated stock in bird's eye maple, pillar-and-glass bedded. Anschutz barrel shortened at the breech end and re-chambered, fitted with a Harrell tuner. The single-shot Match 54 action has been treated to Mark Chesebro's magazine-fed repeater conversion, and the 1407 U-9 trigger has been adjusted to a crisp 2 ounce pull. Leupold BR-24 scope.

Some really nice rifles guys. I don't have anything to add to compete, but was wondering what's up with all these higher powered scopes? How far are you guys shooting with 22? Seems unnecessary.

50 yard benchrest guns usually wear 36x or greater scopes. I have 36x on my Remington 40x rifles. Many of my friends use 45x.

To see the target....Some targets have a mere dot in the center.

You can't hit what you can't see. If you are trying to stack one shot on top of another with a .22, you have to be able to see the hole a .22 makes from 50 yards away. Higher magnification simply makes that easier.

Yep, we try to shoot 5 shot groups like this or smaller.

Thanks to the fellow that posted the pics of the baby Browning... after I spoke up I took a moment to check Gunbroker and was pleasantly surprised to see some fine examples being offered for sale (and a few at pretty reasonable prices...).
I haven't hunted since I was a kid (Vietnam, then a career in police work pretty much ended any interest in hunting small critters for me...) but when I did, that little Browning would have filled the bill entirely for me - but strictly with the open sights they come with.

That makes sense.
Didn't realize the targets comps were so small.

I regularly shoot this BSA MKIII in Smallbore prone competition. It is a great rifle, fast lock time, easy to load, and of course, accurate.
This is a 1941 manufactured Remington M37, Lyman Superscope on top.
The first owner wrote the date of purchase and that it was hand picked by Frank Kahrs. Frank Kahrs regularly attended each Camp Perry and wrote a two page advertizement titled "Possibles and Impossibles" every month in the American Rifleman.
The M37's are very accurate. This is a one hundred yard 400-32X I fired at the Wa Ke De Range Bristol IN with this rifle
A bud of mine owns a M37 which has an Eric Johnson barrel. The previous owner was Larry Moore, a gentleman who won the 1000 yard Wimbleton with a 30-06, and was also a small bore prone competitor. Larry Moore's first job was working with John Garand at Springfield Armory. Larry tested every potential service rifle at Aberdeen Proving Grounds and wrote test reports on each, prior to the adoption of the M14 and M16. This is Larry on the cover of the Dec 1956 Guns magazine http://gunsmagazine.com/1956issues/G1256.pdf
