Another method you might try.
Cwood, I took a old bag of 7 1/2 shot and put 10 lbs 6 oz in the bag using my scale. I then went to the post office with the bag and a plastic perscription bottle with about 4 oz of shot.
Put the bag on the scale, poured in enough shot to weigh 10lb 8oz and i have a permanent check weight for my scale.
Just my $.02 worth

Curtis, Here are some suggestions: a lighter set of rings if available, remove scope covers, hollow out inside of butt plate or shave it down if it is aluminum. Steps beyond these require more drastic measures. I would consider cutting the barrel back and re crowning. This will probably not be the only barrel on this gun and your next will most likely be a LV configuration. You could end up unbalanced later if you modified the stock just to accommodate this barrel rather then vice versa. Tim

I think I'm done. Need a second scale opinion, but I think it'll make it. Wehn I take off the buttplate and trigger guard, I pick up about 3 ounces anyhoo.....
Now she just needs to be shooted/dialed in and properly christened.........
thanks to all

In another sport, I cut a strip of Coke can, rolled the edges, bent it round a lump of tube & tacked it onto the stock with a couple of dabs of superglue gel.
It passed their test.

Actually, the trigger guard (aluminum) is less than an ounce. Like I said, if I drop the buttplate (already cut a thin piece of black Forbon to fit) I'm in the money.
