It is all a sales pitch to sell those over priced £200 or £250 lumps of wood to the man who has everything except common sense. Of course he did not say that some people do like a gun to be slightly barrel heavy and others prefer slightly stock heavy it is all a matter of what is right for the individual. I have found that if the action weight is somewhere central when your hand is in the correct shooting position on the fore end with the other holding the correct place on the grip area is good enough for me. My balancing pivot is a piece of dowel held in a bench vice costing more or less nothing. "A fool and his money are soon parted."

The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!
