Good post!
Lets start with muzzle heavy
A muzzle heavy rifle is slower to the pull and can be awkward to carry depending on how nose heavy it is . It also likes a shorter hang time on target
But its quick to settle on the target . Its also much more stable in the hang . IE it wants to hold much more steady then either a balanced or butt heavy rifle .
Its also much more stable in the follow through
All very desirable for target shooting.. Especially at longer distances . Less desirable for hunting . However the draw backs to the hunting application will be over come with use.
I particularly agree with that. IMO the advantage to this goes directly to offhand unsupported use with rifles. Moving the carry balance point forward is not so much of a burden as having your sights wander about on their own imponderable journey. The message was first imprinted on my dim circuits when I picked up a long range Sharps one day.
