44 Mag
Uploaded on November 11, 2009here is a simple ? for you experts. Before i get to it i would like to just say that I am wanting to carry only one type of ammo into the woods when i go hunting for deer ,wild boar,or even bear. and the 44 mag is of course the obvious choice for pistol and rifle hence the 1 type of ammo. Now i am not going cowboy so the rifle doesn't have to be lever action,(though it would be nice since i'm used to shooting lever)but i really don't care for the straight stock lever, i want the pistol grip style lever, or semi-auto. Now my ? is (in 5 parts) if i do come across a sweet deal on a straight stock lever, can i change it over to a synthetic stock w/pitol grip (of course the lever its self as well)? Part 2 , if so whom makes the better of the two marlin or winchester ? Part 3 who males the best after market stocks for this type of app.? Part 4 who makes the best semi-auto (44 mag rilfe) out there? Part 5 or should i just suck it up and learn to shoot a bolt action :-P ? Any light shed on this would be helpful
Thanks and happy hunting !

I would get an Encore,(I don't know if thats how you spell it)you will have all the aforementioned, except it's a single shot.
And you can by other barrels muzzleloader, shotgun, any rifle or pistol calibers, or even a pistolgrip and use it as a pistol in whatever cal. you want! And scope the barrels you want or leave Iron sites on the others. Just my .02
As far as I know both the Marlin Model 1894 and the Winchester 1892 Short Rifle have straight grips from the factory. I think these are the only models both manufactures ever made in .44 mag. If you want to convert these to pistol grip type stocks, you'll have to modify the levers. I doubt anyone makes a plastic stock since every modification to the rifle would have to be custom. Every modification would be different. I'm not sure what advantage might be obtained from having both the rifle and side arm in same caliber. Also, I can't imagine trying to draw am accurate bead on a deer at a hundred yards with somthing that muzzle heavy anchored in just your hand. It's not "cowboying" but rather simple physics (and respect for killing humanely) that was behind putting shoulder butt stocks on game rifles. The pistol grip type stocks were designed for something quite different - killing people at very close range. Perhaps you should leave the "copping" behind when you head for the field.
