solopian - clearly, you understand this issue. Thank you for the kind words.

Just as a shooter will have a prefered set of stock fit dimensions (or sets for differing shooting purposes), so will he have a set,or sets, of prefered handling parameters. Weight, balance (tetter-totter point), and mounted and unmounted swing efforts define the gun's dynamics. I continue to advocate what I find to be the most meaningful way of measuring and recording these parameters. Knowing the parameters of guns you like will give you a way to objectively tell someone else. Weight, balance, and swing efforts can be replicated. But, to replicate, you must first know what you are replicating. So, you have to measure.
