In reply to:
A properly balanced double rifle will have half it's total weight between the hands, the other half devided between the butstock, and the barrel set ahead of the fore-hand. No shotgun would be worth much for birding, especially, upland birding, balanced this way.
Mac - That's actually the precise formula for the balance of a shotgun (by english standards), i.e.: weight "Between the hands." Your formula is not limited to double rifles.
