Col,

A little "weight forward" can also help you swing on moving targets. Especially long "crossers".

It sounds like, in Felix's case, we're talking about a balance point that's considerably more than an inch in front of the hinge pin.

I'd say the better balanced, closest to the hinge pin, the better it will carry, mount, point and swing. That's how it seems to work with shotguns carried in the field that may have to be mounted and shot on moving game. That's why the English doubles have the "lively feel" and swing like a gun that's lighter than their actual weights.

Of course a big contributing factor to the gun's "mountability/shootability/feel" is proper gun fit.......which is also why a made to measure/properly balanced gun has such "legendary" handling capabilities.

Not preaching to the converted or needlessly arguing the point just puting it out there for people's consideration.

Where's SDH when you need him ???
