[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2397631, member: 1951"] This contour is basically a heavy skinny looking barrel. The weight will mostly by in the chamber end. This contour has a shorter shank, but a larger muzzle diameter. That moves it’s balance point forward. If it were me, I would discuss with your smith how to add weight as close to the butt pad as possible. Yes, heavy barrel rifles are front heavy. For “rested” setups with a good front bag like PRS style, this is good for stability. For skelatal supported positions, I like my balance point at or just behind the front screw. [/QUOTE]
