I honestly don't have much of a good reason - I wish I did. I just kind of like them. Ever since I saw a picture of Frank Woolner's Winchester Model 59 auto with the English stock (his grouse getter), I just thought it looked kind of interesting. To my eyes, it looks interesting on a pump as well. I've also owned two O/U guns with English stocks and I enjoy them.

I think someone else on the board has a Winchester Model 12 with an English stock... Ted perhaps?
