Way too many rifles made in 505 Gibbs turn out to be clubs due to heavy barrels.
Because the people who build them don't understand how to build them to get the balance / feel right.

The originals were not as while the barrels were thick where necessary, they were carefully tapered to give good balance
Correct, mine is a great lump of a thing with a huge stock - much bigger foreend than above with leather patch on the comb yet the gun does feel right.
