I have one of those lead wedge weights in the stock of my match rifle, I trimmed it to balance at the delta ring. I am curious to where most shooters balance their rifle. Do many shooters make their rifles slightly muzzle heavy or generally keep it balanced right at the delta ring? I prefer a slightly heavy muzzle for stability and control, therefore was thinking of trimming my weight just a hair more.

Balance @ delta ring where it meets up w/ receiver versus center of delta ring versus foward of delta ring at the start of handgaurds? Where exactly is your balance point?
