@Gramps: Congratulations. That's a beautiful rifle. I'd have to think long and hard before making any changes to it, but...

I have big hands, and I've always had problems with the tiny loop on win 94's. Ranger point precision (rangerpointprecision.com) makes a larger loop for post 64 win 30-30's. Kind of a goldilocks size. Big enough, but not too big. For me, it made a big difference in operating comfort.

In any case, I know you'll enjoy your rifle. There are certain things, that God, in His infinite wisdom, wants us to have: a 30-30 lever action rifle, a 12 gauge shotgun, a .45 acp 1911, and a 38 special revolver...and maybe a .45 colt single action revolver.
