2-piper is correct. I had one of the first Ceasar Guerini 3-barrel smallbore sets in the country. At that time you could only get the .410 with 30" barrels while the 20 and 28 gauge had 32" barrels. All 3 barrel/forend sets weighed within one ounce of each other. You couldn't tell if the 20 or 28 gauge barrels were on the gun as they balanced to the same point and moved the same when shooting. They were wonderful. The .410, however, balanced almost 3" farther back! This was due to all the metal in the monoblock to make it match the receiver. The gun would have worked better if the .410 barrels were heavier and balanced similar to the other two. I sold the CG as I never could shoot it with the .410 barrels.
I have a 20/28 Beretta o/u and the 28 gauge barrels/forend are 6 ounces heavier, but they balance at the same point as the 20 gauge. I shoot them both very well.
Perazzi are the masters at making multi barrel sets. Play with a 3 or 4 gauge set of theirs and be amazed.
Old colonel, the advice about shooting your gun and then temporarily adjusting the balance point to your preference is spot on.
Regards,
Jeff
