Only thing I can think of is that some other type of rifle with a left side short pull bolt was used in this stock.
Best guess I can come up with.

Charlie, that might be it. It looks like it was done very well. Now I'm a lefty, maybe it would fit me.....frank
Yep, probably the same person that has the explination for that one odd magazine has the explination for this!
You may have solved the mystery imarangemaster -
dnikkor's magazine could be for this left hand carbine bolt action!
I have an old winchester bolt action .22 that has a similar cutout. It is for a Lyman target peep. I wouldn't be surprised if that is what it was for.
I think JimB probably has it nailed.
Somewhere around here I have a nice old Lyman peep ( for a different rife ) that was going to require similar stock modifications. Since my woodworking skills were and are limited to a hammer and a chisel, I never installed it.
At least the stock in question was very nicely done.
