400,

You raise an issue I've never really understood. How do you go about measuring "weight between the hands"? On page 38 of "Gough Thomas's Gun Book" a mysterious device is illustrated which is "testing a gun for balance" by "timing the horizontal oscillations of the gun in its suspended cradle." There is no explanation as to how this is done.

Gough Thomas goes on to say that he tests handling quality and amount of energy required in shooting by measuring weight, point of static balance, least traverse moment of inertia and radius of gyration, without describing his methodology. Maybe some of our British correspondents can shed some light on this phenomenon.

I think this is what you are talking about, but other than measuring the dimensions of actions and barrel breeches, I have no idea as to how to go further.
