Always has been for me as well. I actually prefer a front heavy rifle. When hog hunting, I take running shots often and have found the swing to is much steadier with one. Especially when using my AR's. I'm probably 25% better on running shots with my Ar 10 in 7mm.08 on running shots than I am with my 6.8SPC on an Ar15 platform. Both rifles are well under MOA at 100 yards off the bench so it has nothing to do with the accuracy of them. It's the handling and balance of them that makes the difference.
