[QUOTE="Montucky Roamer, post: 2359178, member: 100692"] In that case, I'd say you should experiment with adding some weight to the butt end of the stock. It'll take less weight to balance it back out that way. I will say...a rifle with a heavy barrel and very light stock is a pain to carry at the ready. Shooting , barrel weight is your friend. Weight in general is a huge help at the shot, but who wants to carry a 16 pound comp rifle with extra lead in the stock, etc? So it's all trade offs right? I'll be adding a suppressor this year also. I have a 25 inch proof barrel but might re barrel to a 20 inch for balance and handling. Oh, and I love the AG composites Alpine hunter, very straight line recoil control. Just fine for offhand shots. Adding a slightly heavier stock might be just the ticket with the suppressor going on. Maybe nip your barrel back too. [/QUOTE]
