That makes no sense unless you have lw foundation which just hogs out cheekpiece
Iw foundation? It’s a geniuses stock with Sikes clutch milled in one side up front that probably added a little. I have no weights on the insides in fore end and it’s very front heavy. The stock is a special edition black. without the scope mounted it weighs 20lbs

I’ve got a MG2 and my latest barrel I also moved to a 26” straight contour just to help balance mine out. I’ve also got 6-8 brass weights in front and it balances perfectly 4-5” in front of magwell. Im also running an atacr 7-35 which is a pig.

What barrel you running? If there isn’t a scope on rifle yet I’d wait on the brass weight for the cheekpiece because all that weight of scope will be rearward of your balance point.

I have a 26” straight hawk hill. And my scope is mounted it’s a vortex. I have a Sikes clutch milled into one side and no weights up front right now. I mounted a Area419 barricade stop right infront the magazine on my arca rail. I figured the balance point needed to be right infront of that point. It’s abt 4”-5” infront of that

Sounds like your balance point is perfectly centered on your bag to me, but different strokes for different folks.
 
Well, I grabbed another MG2, for my work rifle build.... and JK and family knocked it out of the park. JK then recommended Sean Casey of DNA for a NV bridge install and it too came out flawlessly... his work is flat out impressive. You should really check out his laser etched stipple work he is doing now, it will be on my next one for sure... I will grab a few pics of this one with my other ones. I have whole stable of black ones now...

Who did the engraving?
 
I'll have to pull it out of the safe and measure it. I had gotten it from GAP as a used and re-barreled rifle. It was in some stupid caliber as I recall.

Originally built by SAC, and they added the rail.

What length Area419 rail is that? And what hardware did you use to attach?
 
typically how much do you guys weight the rifles down in the front? currently using a MG2 and its got the 360 brass weight arca rail.

This may be crazy for some but this is how my mind works. I do accounting / excel for a living.

I had the same question and problem so I needed to compare. I think the weights are pretty accurate in oz.

I went with Idea 4.

I have a ZCo/Spuhr and 22" MTU barrel so the centurion is till somewhat rear heavy but having ckye pod up front makes it balanced on a pint size/shemdium GC.

But yeah, pushing 24#s for the set up.

It’s all going to depend on how your gun is setup, barrel contour, length, scope etc.

Put as much weight in it to where it balances directly over the center of your bag.

This typically works out to balance 4”-5” in front of magwell for me.

What’s pretty good? A lot of variables here like scope/mount weight. Like I stated above I want my gun to balance between 4”-5” in front of magwell it either does or I add or subtract weight until it does.

I plop it on my barricade bag and it stays where it’s put. That’s about as much as I need from it being balanced.

I do have a paint pen mark on the bottom of the forend as to the ballpark balance point when I put it on my tripod which I’d guess is maybe 3” forward of the mag well. But for shooting only with a barricade bag it has no issues getting plopped down and staying put.
