Given the damage I have sustained to my wrist, it would be to my benefit to adopt more pistol gripped leverguns, but I simply can’t bring myself to overlook my subjective aesthetic preference for English/Straight stocks. Of course, I shoot leverguns with my thumb on the same side, so I tend to distend my fingers out from the gripneck, relaxing my wrist anyway... but I’m sure I’d be accuracy and speed ahead to garner support on a pistol grip.

With a high powered, high pressure BLR in .300wsm, a pistol grip would undoubtedly be welcome to secure the rifle more tightly to the shoulder. The BLR isn’t a lightweight, but light enough to let a 300 misbehave a bit if not well shouldered.
