Alder, my gun is 5/16th in front of the forend iron or about 2 3/4" to the breech face on the horizontal. My call that the gun is a little nose heavy is entirely subjective as I said. I say this only in comparison to my go-to guns which all "feel" the same to me.

As far as the Cabela's gun goes, the guy paid about $3925. If Cabelas"s takes 20% for consignment, charges $4999., the net to seller is right at 4K. No one is getting over at these figures.
