You're right, the effect on a rifle with decent balance shouldn't be great. My issue is that the Kimbers, especially the Classics, don't have a high % of weight out front. So removing metal will only make it worse. Personally, I would rather have a rifle be a bit barrel heavy than butt heavy. Balancing over the lug seems about perfect.
