Pistol grip Henry 30 30

Post by 357Mag » Thu Feb 09, 2023 4:23 pm

Would anyone else like for Henry to offer a Pistol grip stock on their Steel and Color case 30 30 's ?

You can get a pistol grip stock on 45-70 models and even a x model .30 30 I believe. I suggest it every year in the suggestion box...if you're interested as well please do the same !

I have 5 30-30's there straight stocked and a pair with the PG ones.
I don't see .10 cents worth of difference in shooting them.
As far as looks goes I prefer the straight stock.
If, I wanted/needed another :roll: I'd be waiting on a new Marlin.
From what I've seen of them from the shot show videos they are gorgeous.
Oh, and they are pistol gripped. ;)

I like shooting with a pistol grip as it seems to give me better trigger control but I like the looks of a straight stock.

Haven't thought about it before, but looking at the lever rifles side by side I like the pistol grip a little better.

Yes please, a 30-30 with a pistol grip would be wonderful.

What a memory I seem to have. I had to go look at mine. Three straight stocks, one with PG[39A] and one lever/falling block[Ruger No.1], PG.

Well...if we're counting all the levers.
14, straight stocked
6, pistol gripped.
:o :)

Yeah Randy, that's kinda what I thought with the No.1, so, I just included it.

I Love my straight stocked levers. In fact I won't buy a PG stocked rifle if it comes in a Straight Stock configuration. Only pistol griped one that I have is a New Marlin 1895 Trapper in 45/70.

Never gave the stock much thought. hunted with winny 94 and Marlin 336. length of pull is what's important . Wish Henry offered a youth stock like they do on the single shot rifles.

I broke my rt. wrist racing motocross in the mid-70s. Didn't have med insurance at the time, so I just let it go without doing anything to it. It doesn't have the flexibility/mobility that my left wrist has, plus recent x-rays had my Dr. puzzled about "When did this happen???", as it seems that it's essentially still broken.

I would love to upgrade my gun(s) to a more pistol grip style. Like Leverjc said, I personally have a bit better/easier trigger control with a PG style grip and my rt. wrist. I've considered getting something like a Brass or CCH 45-70 for that reason, plus I'd get an octagon barrel as well, which I really like. If one had been available anywhere in my locale at the time I was levergun shopping, I'd have bought it, but I simply took what was available at the time.

But to me, I do prefer the "more traditional look" of a straight stock........

I wish they also off a shorter LOP. I have to cut down every rifle I buy to a 12.5" LOP. I am only 5'5" tall and 14" LOP is like holding a 2x4 8' long to my shoulder. Only thing I hate about buying a new rifle.
