LG - my point is that there is no "perfectly balanced;" "balance" in this case seems to be used as a summation for handling characteristics. Most now agree that there is no such thing as "perfect stock dimensions." A given set of stock dimensions and handling finerprint can be a very close fit for a number of people, but not in a generalized way for the entire population of shooters. Many/most people find the light weight, center balance, and low swing effort of a typical game gun to be delightful. However, "delightful" is far from "perfect." Once a shooter has gathered enough information on his own preferences for handling, most will find the the delightful game gun fits a fairly narrow range of shooting activity. Sorry, but I do not believe that game gun handling is "the answer."
