Someone please answer this

A buddy and I are having a fun little debate.......

What are the 2 screw holes on the left side of a Remington 700/40X receiver used for? Can someone please shed some light on the situation? Links or photos would be helpful to prove me correct.

Why don't the current model 700s have these holes?

Thanks
