Win 52 international

Dave45-70

Can any of you Winchester knowledgeable guys tell me the physical difference between the Winchester 52-D international model and the 52-D Prone model. I understand the difference is only in the stock. Thanks Dave

I'm sure somebody else will come along with more details, but I belive the International is set up for 3 position shooting. Butt hook, palm rest, etc.
