[QUOTE="aardvaark, post: 685746, member: 47941"] Thank you so much for the reply's. You've been most helpful. Here's what I propose to do: I'll get the recoil pad off, and start adding weight. I'll use lead birdshot and silicone it in place. That way, if I want to remove it, it's doable. I'll lay the stock 'trigger side up' to try to keep the weight as 'high' as possible hopefully to reduce muzzle jump. Get the weight up to about 7 lbs. That'll also help with the balance. Right now, it's very muzzle heavy. I can also drill a hole in the front of the forestock and put some weight in there too. One more question: at what point of the gun do you guys like to have your balance? [/QUOTE]
