Quick question about balance for anyone out there with a similar setup:
Current configuration:
Lone Peak Razor SS S/A
Benchmark Medium Palma, SS, 26", chambered in 6.5CM
MDT ACC (no weights)
Atlas Gen 2 Tall CAL
Thunderbeast 30P-1 Direct Thread Suppressor
ZCO 4-20
Potential Configuration:
Looking to swap the LPA for a Defiance Ruckus, the 30P-1 will get swapped for an Ultra-7, and I'm looking into a Proof Research Prefit SS Competition Contour Barrel chambered in 6 CM. Scope, chassis, bipod, will stay the same.
Current configuration balances well. Overall weight is okay (currently 17.5 pounds with empty mag). I'd actually prefer a little shorter and a little lighter. However, the Proof barrel is available now (I've planned poorly). The Proof CC should be about 2 pounds heavier, but swapping the suppressor will save about 0.5 pounds from the front, so about 1.5 pounds increase that is generally distributed across the barrel.
Question:
For anyone out there with a similar set-up, where's your balance point? Do you find the CC makes the rifle front heavy, requiring rear weights?
