Tikka foundation stocks and Hawkins bottom metal.

Has a price been announced on the remnant yet?

The hybrid line is their lighter (not light) options - ezekiel and gideon. The hybrid line is a carbon and kevlar blend, with a micarta bedding block. The ezekiel has an adjustable comb and a recessed forend for a full-length arca. The gideon does not have an adjustable comb, or a recessed foreend.

Both stocks weighed about 40oz with everything except the barreled action, so not lightweight in the traditional sense.

Their non-hybrid line of stocks are fully micarta and very heavy.

I have the ezekiel for a rem700, and the gideon for a tikka. I really enjoy them both. The micarta deadens recoil as-advertised. both have slightly above bore combs. Trigger reach is longer than the rokstock, but comfortable for me with above-average sized hands.

Downside - price.

Can you comment on the tikka inlet on the Gideon? Barrel channel? Specifically if it will fit a 1.2” shank on the factory cut?

I have the PVA Osprey with a 1.2" shank and there is room to spare.

I don’t suppose you have tried a UM short bolt handle on it too?

Same as the Gideon. You can email them and order now.

I did, it hit the stock, and didn’t feel like filling material away to make it work on this stock. Went with the long handle from UM and it works.

Love my genesis on my.prs rig. They're a really good company and hooked me up for free with parts I needed. I want to look at the specs for the new stock but it'll be hard not to get one.

You mentioned using the hunter magazine. Does it also take aics mag like the other versions? That happens to be my favorite bottom metal as well and I have several of their hunter maga already.

Hawkins says that in "short action" Tikka's there are compatible AICS pattern magazines that will fit. In "long action" Tikka's you are limited to the Hawkins Hunter magazines.

They are also the same base inlet.
