What's the thingy hanging off the right side of the front part of the stock?

Electronic sight? On a sniper rifle?

Looks like a switch for some kind of illuminator. I'm guessing it will "paint" the target and bounce back a reflection that can be picked up by night-vision equipment better than what could be seen with ambient light. Just a guess.
