Being PC is not a major concern here either,Paul. Many of the SC guns I've handled are butt heavy, but the makers keep calling them "Neutral". I wonder why they don't call them muzzle-light instead.

Neutral refers to a break open gun that balances on the hinge pin,IMO, call it 2-3" in front of the trigger. Lots of singles and doubles balance that way or a bit further back. Most are great field guns. Waterfowl and pass shootng doves goes well with the balance a little more forward for me, and everyone gets used to a shotgun they shoot a lot.
