In my family, we love 'em both ways!!
Sherwood The rifle on the left looks near identical to my Glenfield Model 30AS except for the fact that mine has the pistol grip stock. The one on the right....kinda like my '94 but mine is older. It is a top eject with a williams peep sight, straight grip and some amazing walnut on it. As you said, we love 'em both ways too.
Don't let the name fool Ya!

I prefer a straight grip. I go out of my way not to buy lever actions with pistol grips. If you want a pistol grip, shoot a bolt action.
Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.

It's kind of ironic that you're changing a 336 CB to a pistol grip, I was looking for one to get away from the pistol grip. No accounting for taste, huh? I do kinda like the look of the "big loop" pistol grip setups. Haven't handled one yet so I don't know how it'd be. Tom

I'm late to the party. . . . .I know. I like pistol grip stocks over straight stocks, but can shoot both. Currently I have a Marlin 336C 35 Rem. and a Winchester 88 308 Win. (almost as accurate as my bolt actions). A few years ago I wanted to buy a 1894 480 Ruger and get a revolver to go with it. However, I don't think they ever came out with it. I think they made a 44 mag. with a pistol grip for a few years too. About 10 years ago I called Marlin to see if they could convert a straight grip to a pistol grip on a 1894 357 Mag. They said yes. I called back when I was ready to buy the rifle and send it to them to do the work. Glad I called. They told me the parts were no longer available. You snooze you lose I guess! I had a few Winchester model 94's with straight grips. A 30-30 Win., 356 Win. and a 444 Mar. The only one that worked and shot correctly was the 356 Win. I chalk that up to the manufacture and the the grip or caliber. I'll probably get a Marlin 45-70. I'm not sure if I'd get the rifle or the carbine guide gun. Either way, it'll end up with a pistol grip. Just my $.02, YMMV!

My friend bought the straight grip guide gun and would bash his middle finger on the trigger guard during recoil. He sold it and got the 1895 pistol grip and liked it much better.
I would love to get the straight grip marlin in a milder caliber just because it looks nice and I lke the looks.
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

Pistol grip for me. My 1895 has a straight grip, but I like the pistol grip on my other Marlins better.

I sure would like to find a straight stock to fit my 336. I made the mistake of shortning it so a samall frame female could shoot it and then she didn't like it. I just put a second recoil pad on it to lenghten it but still want it back original.

Either one, so long as it doesn't have that dumbass side safety on it. That's a NO SALE for me. People who grew up with it don't seem to mind, but I didn't, and it frets me.
Not many problems you can't fix With a 1911 and a 30-06

I like the look of my 336 Texan .44 Magnum with its straight stock better than my pistol gripped 336 .35 Rem. But for ease of shooting, the pistol grip feels better and history shows that most shooters get better control with one. Rod

RJM: That's a beautiful rifle.
This year while bear hunting a discovered why I prefer the pistol grip. I hunted 14 days, and didn't use the same rifle twice. I blew a chance at the one bear that came in by moving more than I could get away with before the shot.
I was sitting on a hillside and the shots would be made sitting. The straight grip was more difficult to get a good sitting position. I had a tough time to keep my right elbow in my knee with a straight grip. I didn't use a bolt gun with a straight grip, but did use mutliple lever actions with both types. All the straight grips had the same problem.
