designing up added buttstock weight to add weight and to shift the balance point to app. 5" forward of the trigger. Looking at shotguns, Mr. Harry Potter (i know...) and the photo, all come in around this distance. I should note this is about 1.5" more than half the spacing between my hands on my CZ 458 Lott

But, thought to get the wizards here to chime in...
thanks

I ordered mine to be balanced on the forward action screw and with as much weight as possible between the hands so to say, and I think the gun smith got it just right.

That is pretty much where mine balances. It is a soft shooting rifle for the calibre.

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. :(
Need anything in trade?
Cheers,

what kind of velocity does the 140 grains list, curious how they would fit in with my current 130 gr, supply of 270s. maybe a pic of the box data listing vel. and drop. Oh and complements on that ammo belt, nice.
