Yes, works for clays. In a lot of competitive rifle shooting, you may be required to shoot weak side. I shot all national matches the last 2 years and every single match had 1 or 2 weak side stages.

Gunsmithing - adjustable buttplates for foundation stocks?
As the title states, just wondering if anyone has had good experiences with an adjustable butt plate for a foundation stock? I think I'd be good with a 2way. I saw these but can't find any good fit, finish, or installation reviews...

Well since had time today I weighed my Revelation build that is for NRL Hunter Open Heavy. She comes in under the mark even with my Gray Ops plate minus the weights. With out the plate it has a fair amount to spare.
I forget who specifically made THAT one, there’s a few guys about that can do them.
That only stayed on for a few weeks, as it was just too much junk in the trunk.
Front heavy with no weights! Straight tapper hawk hill barrel 26”

Iw foundation? It’s a geniuses stock with Sikes clutch milled in one side up front that probably added a little. I have no weights on the insides in fore end and it’s very front heavy. The stock is a special edition black. without the scope mounted it weighs 20lbs

I’ve got a MG2 and my latest barrel I also moved to a 26” straight contour just to help balance mine out. I’ve also got 6-8 brass weights in front and it balances perfectly 4-5” in front of magwell. Im also running an atacr 7-35 which is a pig.

What barrel you running? If there isn’t a scope on rifle yet I’d wait on the brass weight for the cheekpiece because all that weight of scope will be rearward of your balance point.
I have a 26” straight hawk hill. And my scope is mounted it’s a vortex. I have a Sikes clutch milled into one side and no weights up front right now. I mounted a Area419 barricade stop right infront the magazine on my arca rail. I figured the balance point needed to be right infront of that point. It’s abt 4”-5” infront of that
Sounds like your balance point is perfectly centered on your bag to me, but different strokes for different folks.
Thanks for the help/ advice I’m going to try it out how it is before I get to crazy then. Thanks
Well, I grabbed another MG2, for my work rifle build.... and JK and family knocked it out of the park. JK then recommended Sean Casey of DNA for a NV bridge install and it too came out flawlessly... his work is flat out impressive. You should really check out his laser etched stipple work he is doing now, it will be on my next one for sure... I will grab a few pics of this one with my other ones. I have whole stable of black ones now...
Well it is raining out, so I am cleaning up the reloading bench and safes a bit and thought I would grab a shitty pic of all my Foundations together... definitely need better light and backdrop for them. But here you go.

I'll have to pull it out of the safe and measure it. I had gotten it from GAP as a used and re-barreled rifle. It was in some stupid caliber as I recall.
Originally built by SAC, and they added the rail.

Assistance if someone could… what’s the thickness and weight of the Foundation made long arca rail. Trying to compare to the thickness and weight of the 360 Precision. Thanks!

This may be crazy for some but this is how my mind works. I do accounting / excel for a living.
I had the same question and problem so I needed to compare. I think the weights are pretty accurate in oz.
I went with Idea 4.
Got this for my centurion.

about 4 pounds. I only put in 20 becuase the 2 closest holes were not big enough to fit them. Gun is about 24 lbs and perfectly ballanced. Easy to free recoil 6.5cm and below.
It’s all going to depend on how your gun is setup, barrel contour, length, scope etc.
Put as much weight in it to where it balances directly over the center of your bag.
This typically works out to balance 4”-5” in front of magwell for me.
I've got the Tungsten kit in my MG2 as well. Kit weighs about 4.1lb. My rifle is about 23lb with an M24 contour barrel and balances very nicely.
Have you guys that are doing front weight kits ever given thought to using a 1.25” straight taper barrel?
I run a 26” straight taper on a MG2 and I still have 8-10 brass weights in it to balance correctly
What’s pretty good? A lot of variables here like scope/mount weight. Like I stated above I want my gun to balance between 4”-5” in front of magwell it either does or I add or subtract weight until it does.
I plop it on my barricade bag and it stays where it’s put. That’s about as much as I need from it being balanced.
I do have a paint pen mark on the bottom of the forend as to the ballpark balance point when I put it on my tripod which I’d guess is maybe 3” forward of the mag well. But for shooting only with a barricade bag it has no issues getting plopped down and staying put.
Are you still liking your Foundation or have you found that you prefer other stocks/chassis'?
