Having had the 6.5" half lug, a 6.5" PC, and a couple 8 3/8th in original Model 500s, I now only have two, the PC and an original. The half lug with its much lower weight and more aft balance was not a pleasant gun to shoot when compared with the others I've had.

Have no plans for a Bone Collector but all that weight forward will certainly moderate recoil. Don
