"My T3 Hunter is straight out of the box (but it is the new, shorter barrel, pre threaded version), the Compact went straight on it and balance just isn't an issue!!"
My hunter is 20inch barrel, .243, carries a PES mod and the balance is dreadful. I'd like to feel Deker's hunter with the compact on. More Importantly, I'd like to shoot it because I'm assuming that it is the extra weight of the mod soaking up that recoil that has transformed it from an unmoderated animal into the joy it is to shoot now.
