What length Heavy Palma to balance rifle

[McGowen]

Does anyone have experience on what Heavy Palma barrel length balances well with a Manners elite carbon T4A stock Surgeon 591 action in 6mm?

This is somewhat subjective, but 26" heavy Palma balances just how I like it with a MCS-PRS2 AND A 38 ounce scope. Balance point is just in front of the front action screw a couple inches.

Thanks for the info. Do you have a brake, thread protector or a can on it?

Muzzle brake that weighs probably 4 ounces and adds maybe 1.5 inches.

A very interesting question. It's actually an engineering problem. I wish we had a calculator or something with formulas to estimate the point of balance.

im running a 26" heavy palma area 419 brake in an MPA chassis and just got the butt stock weight kit...it now balances right in front(muzzle side)of the mag...rifle weighs in at 19.8lbs.

I have a 28" or (27.5) Barty heavy palma screwed in to a 591, t4a with heavy fill. A bugholes brake on the end at about 2". My total length to breach is 28 and 3/8.

Again subjective as stated above and definitely not scientific at all, but I did a half ass balance check way back when without the scope mounted and it wanted to sit in my palm directly under the front action screw. Originally I was not planning on running a brake till I had my smith run a 6x47l reamer thru the original dasher norma chamber, so I probably would have went down to around 26" finished on the bbl length.
