lets see your foundation stock

[Mudflap621]

How is everyone maintaining the finish on the micarta? Some stocks seem to appear dull and others semi-gloss

My opinion is they look better as they wear and get some patina to them.

Prior to painting mine, I would use a warm damp cloth. Per foundation that's the best way to clean them. You could use some stock wax to make it shine some too. Obviously oil the metal bits as needed.

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. View attachment 8119623View attachment 8119624

Seeing as you have both. Your verdict between the Tangent Theta and the ZCO? And lastly, what is your all time favorite scope?

Oof... Well this was a question that I had before I purchased both of these. I had been using SB PMIIs for years on my personal rifles, and was really wondering if there was something I was missing.

After owning them for a while now, sadly I am no closer to a conclusion then I was when I started on this road. I like them both for different reasons, and to be honest like allot if aging people I like what I use most, and that is my PMII on my personal 308 and the NF ATACR on my work 308.

I plan on spending more time behind my 6mms this winter once my new actions come in so maybe then I can give better response to this, it honestly hard to go wrong with any of them.

 

[saddlerocker]

I think I have only read in 1 post about the dark distressed "figure" kind of blending together and losing its crisp "grain" look, but has anyone else noticed this?

 

[Jcarpenter223]

@NiteQwill @Gossett6MM and @gunn317 came through huge on this one. Man it's incredibly nice. Finally done

Out at Max Ordinate Academy doing some training, taking in their Advanced Police Sniper School. Got solod second round impacts at 1000 and 1300 of my tripod on 20" plate with Berger 175 OTM Tactical factory work loads.

 

[oldnewguy]

What's an average OTD price, once you've added an arca rail, bottom metal, typical accessories?

To be honest I don't remember, I will likely be finding out soon though as I have a another build on mind.

 

[saddlerocker]

Bottom metal is included in the price. You pick it when ordering.

Edit: This is incorrect. Back to my hole

 

[spife7980]

Bottom metal is included in the price. You pick it when ordering.

Where are you ordering from?

 

[Jcarpenter223]

Where are you ordering from?

Foundation site has drop down menu for bottom metal, it doesn't however have an option for arca. Sold separately.

 

[saddlerocker]

Where are you ordering from?

Foundation
If you select "None" it doesnt lower the price. So its included

Edit: Im a dummy

 

[J McGriddle]

Nah. That's the inlet. Hawkins DBM is an extra $200.

 

[Rio Precision Gunworks]

Bottom metal is definitely not included.

Would love more information and pics. How does it handle, how’s the grip, what scope, finale weight etc. Nice!

 

[Jcarpenter223]

You are correct. I misunderstood/read the drop menu

 

[Jcarpenter223]

Omg I'm

 

[saddlerocker]

My bad, sorry
Edited my previous statements

 

[oldnewguy]

So, ~$1500 with bottom metal and a rail

Right in that ballpark time you add tax n shipping yea

 

[iMarvin]

What grip tape do y’all like using on your Foundations?

 

[drglock]

Centurion Natural color , Light weight. RimX with 24.5” Shilen

 

[christiant94]

Went with a dark distressed MG2 as a home for my first long action, a 300PRC Impact777/Bartlein. Barreled action courtesy of Altus in Florida. Stoked to get it put together and choose a scope for it. I'm hoping over time the finish will blend slightly to give it a more weathered look.

 

[Thebiglebowski]

Has anyone milled out the back of an MG2? Saw a gentleman have it done by S&S, curious how much weight can be taken off, or if it’s a horrible idea.

 

[Bigrederic]

Here is a fun one... 20" 6.5 Creedmoor.
First rounds through it today.. man this length of rifle just feels handy.

 

[Misfit_]

I swear i saw it posted on foundations facebook page, but does anyone know who's doing the custom engraving / etching on foundation stocks for the grip texture?

Foundation does the engraving.

Foundation does it in house

Foundation does it in house

so like the new texture on the samson, think they would do the same to my MG2? I'd imagine its like stippling on a pistol

 

[R_A_W]

Altus has good pictures of the new Samson, if someone is looking for them

Foundation Rifle Stocks Samson

The Foundation Samson is the latest competition stock from the fine folks at Foundation Rifle Stocks.

[Jcarpenter223]

I saw that thing at ShotShow, it's a horse man. Much easier to get to that 30lb dasher,br,bra,gt

 

[Bigrederic]

Sean Casey at DNA also does a laser stimpe for Foundation stocks.

 

[HawkinsPrecision]

We have a new Foundation Samson in the house. Video coming out in a few weeks covering all the features.

Should have made the rail flat like the MG2 instead of slanting towards the barrel imo.

I’d be interested in retrofitting a few of my sticks with some of this parts though.

 

[NiteQwill]

It's nice in person as much as it is in the pictures.

It's also a heavy ass bastard if you go all brass... 12 lbs.

Currently waiting on one...

Same here. Getting dark distressed with a centurion style grip.

 

[Nachtwolf]

Of course there's a new competition option now that I finally bought a Centurion 2 weeks ago

with a centurion grip? are you saying they are offering it in different variations

 

[tthomp302]

Yes! You can get it in either the centurion style grip or the Genesis 2.

 

[Misfit_]

Yes! You can get it in either the centurion style grip or the Genesis 2.

well heck! thats awesome to know, I'm shooting the mg2 now and love the grip angle, ive never tried a centurion but i know lots of people love it

 

[NiteQwill]

Nice!

I'm going Natural, mix of aluminum and brass weights, and Centurion grip.

 

[Islas82]

Yes! You can get it in either the centurion style grip or the Genesis 2.

that was probably my biggest question!

 

[Islas82]

So the brass on the sides are weights? it almost looks like a sides clutch type of deal as well.

 

[NiteQwill]

Yes, they are weights. Also there is weights inside of the fore and aft of the stock. Brass will be an additional price.

Also will have standard threading to add items (MDT thumb grip, for example).
