Foundation vs Manners

[wind gypsy]

Is there any actual info or even rumors out there about the Remnant?? I check every now and then and all that I find is it mentioned in shot show pictures at other peoples booths.

This is the most I’ve seen on it..

When I talked to foundation last week they said they were hoping to start shipping remnants in 2 weeks

I'm considering picking up a Remnant for my Tikka.

I was in for a remnant until I saw this photo from ultimate reloader. The slope of the toe line is not good.

Instead, I ordered another Ezekiel.

Regarding the flex, there could be the slightest amount of greater flex in the fore end vs a 100% carbon stock. Could be a problem if you were maxing out the barrel channel, but I doubt it.

I canceled my remnant order. There’s still no production in sight. Been hearing 2 weeks for 3 months. I’ll wait till they actually put it out I guess.

Yeah, dont love the toe line or the scalloped fore end. Grip looks like something I'd like better though.

I called and talked to them last week about a long action remnant, they are starting with the SA's first.

What about the toe line don't you like?

The slope. It'll negate the positive effects of the negative comb by causing muzzle rise.

No rounds down the tube, but will report back after the weekend...

In the meantime, the Impact NBK 'feels' like it's bedded - the fit is so good.

What are the specs of this? What's it weigh? Thats nasty

I'll wait for him to confirm but I'll take a guess since I'm bored.

Impact NBK action (as he said)
Foundation Ezekiel with NV bridge
Barrel is in 6.5CM from Stuteville Precision (probably a prefit) and I assume they fluted it as well
TriggerTech trigger of some kind
Nightforce 4-16x42 ATACR
Nightforce Ultralight rings
MDT AICS magazine
The bottom metal might be an MDT one?
Not sure on suppressor

Man it's tough to not order an Ezekiel. I definitely have one on my hit list and 100% will get it eventually though. Shooting my Centurion feels different from any of my other stocks.

I'll be running an ezekiel at the larkspur match coming up. Just switched to it from an xlr envy pro chassis to cut weight.

I love the look and feel of it so far. I'll let y'all know how I like it after shooting a match with it.

I went through this exercise last year and went with the Manners LRH-SC, I like it a lot. It comes with a full length Arca and Micro Chassis, the standard inlet will take up to a M 24 barrel. Mine is 15.2 lbs with a Zeus, CRB 24” Heavy Palma, ATACR 5-25, Hawkins DBM, and a double pull Ckye Pod and an Enticer STI. The fore end is longe enough to lay a game changer the long way and not interfere with the bipod and magazine, it balances well.

The negatives-
I would like a flatter Toe Line on the buttstock, Im going to machine an aluminum bag rider for it and see what happens.

Even though it has the micro chassis, I still bedded it. It had too much deflection when the action was torqued to 65 lbin for my liking, .028” to be exact. After bedding it was zero.

No LOP adjustment

I do like the Ezekial, I have shot a couple of rifles with them, they accomplish the same things as the Manners. Im not a fan of the Hook, that was one reason I chose the manners. The Remnant may be a hit for some, but it is a miss for me. The McMillan Mountain Tracker is a better option for that style of stock with IMO, I really like the one I have.

Is the recoil impulse as dead as Foundation's other stocks?
