[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 286886, member: 8"] A rifle that has its balance point too far forward will be tippy and twitchy on the rear bag. To cure such a rifle you have to add about a pound of weight to the rear stock for every inch you wish to move the balance point. It then will feel and react like a dumb bell with weight on each end and light in the middle. That is not a problem for a target rifle but it is really awkward for hunting. So if you wish to hunt with it occasionally, as I do mine then, ease up on the barrel weight just a smidgen as Monte suggests. Humorous but true :D [/QUOTE]
