My Rem 700 returned a couple of days ago with a much heavier barrel, and I'd like to add ballast to the stock to balance it a little better. Are there any guidelines as to where the center of balance should be? This is for a standard ADL mossy oak synthetic stock with the rough circular patch molded in just forward of the recoil lug area. Presumably this circular molded-in patch simulates a grip of some sort, but does this mean the center of balance should be here also?
For ballast, I'm thinking of bagging and sealing a quantity of bird shot and wedging it up against the recoil pad at the rear with some bubble wrap or rags or something. Anyone else ever balance a rifle like this?
