the gun does weigh 6 lbs 4 oz. I was able to find lead tape used for golf clubs that would seem to be an easy way to test it in the field. Thank you for your idea.
I did attach lead under the barrel protector and it did seem to work however I could not get it into the right position since the weight blocked it sliding all the way up and it blocked my view of the barrels.
Not sure if the golf tape is heavy enough to work but if it does I can find the right feel and then mark the balance point. I could then remove wood in the butt under the butt plate and match the balance point.
Does that sound like a good plan?
