Where do you all your balance point on your rifle? Referenced forward from the trigger.

Maybe some of you have never given it any thought. If you have a favorite rifle, check it against your other rifles.

1-2" in front of the trigger guard. I did some VERY deliberate testing and that gives me the best groups off my sand filled leather bunny ear bag. Coincidently, it does balance there well too.

With my CFX, about the same, couple of inches in front of the guard. And yes, I did some deliberate testing. With the borrowed S1K and a gel rest, it seems best just behind the stock cut-out for the cocking link, that puts it about 6 1/2 inches in front of the trigger guard. Of course, everyone will tell you you can't rest a springer on anything but skin...

I'm tempted to agree but a sand bag is the ultimate rest IMO. I hear people fill them with all kinds of stuff but I prefer plain ole sand. It seems to "deaden" the springer affect, and actually any recoil the best.

I like mine about 2 inches from the trigger guard (4 inches from the trigger). To me, it makes the muzzle a little heavier for off hand shooting so I can rise to the shot.

With my stock and scope combination, the balance point of my CFX is 6 inches from the trigger.

I am going to add 1/2 inch to the length of pull and thicken the comb. Since it is a plastic stock, I can't add any cast to the comb unless I add material to the interior of the stock. When I lengthen the pull, I will add some weight to move the balance point back. I haven't played with the weight yet.

I haven't tried shooting mine off a bench yet. Just using a supported forward hand from a sitting position.
