Let’s talk shotgun balance and balancing a shotgun close to hinge pin. Let’s for the sake of simplicity say we now have a barrel heavy gun. Where do we add weight to the stock to balance the gun close to the hinge pin? Let’s say given that we have a gun with a stock bolt and we already have a huge hole in the Butt stock allowing access to the stock bolt. Is it best to add weight close to the stock bolt and therefor closer to the action?? Or, is it better to add weight closer to the butt pad? How does the difference in weight distribution change things given the same/identical amount of weight?
