Tikka foundation stocks and Hawkins bottom metal.

[Quandary]

Without any rails on it I would guess 35 or less.

Last question - does it come with a recoil lug?

 

[Quandary]

It does not. There is an inlet for the lug in the stock. The one I had was bedded into the stock I sold. Bought a new one from Mountain Tactical.

New foundation Remnant looks like their best hunting stock yet. They haven't fully released it yet but pics they posted look good.

Put an order in for one

I'm tempted to do the same... Do you happen to know the weight and trigger reach spec?

No idea but the trigger reach looks short from the photos I have seen. Weight isn’t a huge consideration for me but I’m guessing it weighs what a Gideon does.

Kind of in the same boat. I'll give them a call tomorrow...

They were targeting 26 oz for bare stock, but said they would confirm.

What’s the barrel channel I let look like? I need to fit a 1.20 shank barrel and am curious if I’m going have to do some sanding or not.

Did they provide a spec for the recoil lug? Factory?

Curious about your thoughts on the inlet?

I have a Bartlein carbon Sendero barrel on mine. The take off barrel in a different caliber was a Proof Tikka 300WM carbon barrel. When Bartlein wrapped the barrel they mimicked the Proof barrel contour, however I believe it has a 1.25 shank, don't have the order details handy. At the time I did it that way because it fit the barrel channel on the stock I was using. The Foundation has plenty of room for that barrel.

The recoil lug slot is factory spec. I am using the Mountain Tactical stainless steel lug. To this point I haven't decided if I am going to bed the action. The folks at Foundation tell me the vast majority of the competitive shooters do not bed the Foundation stocks. I have only shoot at the 100 yard range for load development. The rifle is shooting 10 shoot .75 groups, which for a 35 Whelen is more than adequate in my book. I will be taking it out to longer distances in the next month now that the long range I belong to is opening.

Good to hear. If possible a picture of the bartlein shank at the action would be appreciated.

I have a number of barrels that don’t have the shanks turned down to tikka action diameter, that’s my only worry with this stock. Past the shank they are all plenty skinny.

You are just wasting time bedding a Foundation stock. They are pretty close to perfect. IMHO.

I like the foundation stocks that I’ve seen in person.
But the differences between models isn’t so obvious on their website.

Can anybody spell it out for me? What model do I want for competition vs hunting?

The Remnant is a soon to be released, lightweight backcountry hunting stock. Very few details available (that I can find), but is a new design with a few characteristics similar to the Rokstok.
I use a Foundation in a PRS rig and the fit, finish, and attention to detail is phenomenal!
