Keiegoff K-80 Sporting 12 ga, 30" bbls, LOP 14 1/2", weighs 8.75#, balances at 5 3/4" to trigger, unmounted swing 2.60, mounted swing 10.34, HWR is 11.74. In words, the gun is very heavy, has forward balance, has high effort (slow) swings, and its weight is not compacted near the balance point as shown by the larger HWR number.
I don't have a Ceasar Guerini in the data base at this time, but will make it a mission to add one similar to the K-80.
But, I can add this gun. Perazzi MX8 O/U BLE 12 ga, 30" bbls, LOP 14 3/4", weighs 8.47#, balances 4 1/2", unmounted 2.68, mounted 9.47, HWR 12.11. In words, a very heavy gun with central balance, high effort (slow) swings, and non-compact weight distribution.
Comparison of the two guns. Gun purpose, barrel length and LOP similar. K-80 is 4 1/2 oz heavier - noticable. The difference in balance (1 1/4") should be very noticable. Only a person sensitive to unmounted swing would notice the 0.08 difference. The difference in mounted swing (0.87) should be very noticable; the difference is due to the P-gun's lighter weight and more rearward balance.
Is this kind of information helpful/useful?
