Followup on the beavertail to splinter switch. The new 385 splinter was both a good match and fit. The gun weighed 7 lbs 2 oz when I bought it with a large with a large Kick Eze pad installed. I took that "wheel chock" off and replaced it with a microcell pad and 1/4"spacer. That along with the new splinter forend brought the weight down to just under 6 1/2 pounds. Looking forward to taking some roosters with this shotgun! (My wife's a puzzle nut.)
