Not really, I did field target shooting with an air rifle and when I had targets where I had to stand my mentor thaught me to do this, helps if the rifle is balanced at your desired place of holding.
My 91/30 mosin nagant was like this. I had to use packing tape to hold the base plate to the magazine in position because the latch was just rusted out enough to no longer hold against the spring if you loaded 4 or more rounds. Never took the tape off after 12 fucking years hahaha
