Problem is, it looks like Marlin only makes its pistol-calibre rifles with a straight stock, which I find both less comfortable and butt ugly. Of the Marlins listed on the website, only the Model 1895 in .45-70, the Model 444 in .444 Marlin and the Model 336 in .30-30 have pistol stocks; the...

Oh ugh, that is *so* what I didn't want to hear. They quit making them altogether?

It would appear that neither Marlin nor Winchester makes the exact variant I'd want, which would be a scout scope mount, 18" or 20" barrel, full length magazine tube, "pistol" style grip, and smooth wood furniture. The Winchester 94 Timber Scout is the closest to it -- everything but the full...

Well, the annoying thing is that it appears Marlin doesn't make any models with a scout-scope, but Winchester doesn't make anything in pistol calibres (or big-bore calibres either, but I'm *not* interested in one of those).

I looked through the Marlin and Winchester websites again, and the Winchester Model 94 Timber Scout looks just perfect -- Marlin doesn't appear to have a comparable model with a forward-mounted "scout" scope setup, and I've always thought those were a really nifty concept. I'll probably get it...

Both are considered "large capacity" rifles and therefore require an LTC rather than a FID.

Because Massachusetts only requires an FID card for a "non large capacity" rifle or shotgun, and those are much easier to get than the LTC required for handguns (or large capacity rifles/shotguns).

I'm getting close enough to having enough set aside, so I thought I'd start soliciting advice. My top consideration at this point is a Marlin 336C or Winchester 94 in .30-30, but I'm completely open to other suggestions. 1. This will likely be my only firearm for quite some time, so versatility...
