Rocketman:
"Mark,you are on the right track, IMO. However, you should really determine the handling characteristics you want (enjoy shooting or shoot well - not necessarily the same thing). Here is a starting point: Weight 7#12 oz, balance 4 3/4" to (front)trigger, and mounted swing effort 8.5. These numbers may not suit you, but are a good place to start."
I agree with your numbers I just had my Francotte Eagle measured at the Rocky Mountain Vintagers and your numbers are very close to what my 30" Francotte measured.
I am looking further at Fausti, Poli and AyA. The search is fun.
