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.
But that is what makes the world go around all the likes and dislikes of humanity

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.

Re: Pistol grip Henry 30 30
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.
