Foundation Stocks - Gideon Lightweight Hunting Stock - Impact Long Action NBK Inlet, Hawkins M5 DBM, Arid Green Finish

The Gideon Lightweight Hunting Stock from Foundation Stocks is a game-changer in the world of carbon fiber hunting stocks. Designed with precision, this hybrid stock combines the expertise gained from Foundation's long history in the match stock market with the modern needs of lightweight hunting rifle builds. With an Impact Precision Long Action NBK Action Inlet and Hawkins Precision M5 Bottom Metal Inlet, the Gideon is built for high performance, with the same legendary inletting precision that Foundation is known for.

Key Features:

• Impact Precision Long Action NBK Action Inlet: Designed specifically to fit the Impact Precision Long Action NBK, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance.
• Hawkins Precision M5 DBM Inlet: The stock is compatible with both Standard M5 and Hunter M5 DBM, offering versatility in bottom metal choices.
• Short Length ARCA Rail: Comes with a 4" ARCA rail for easy bipod attachment, increasing stability and flexibility in field conditions.
• Barrel Inlet: Supports up to M24 Contour, making it adaptable for various barrel profiles.

The Gideon utilizes a Micarta bedding block in the inlet areas for the action and bottom metal. This ensures the same high-precision inletting and exceptional seating that Foundation's match stocks are known for, but with the added benefit of a lightweight construction. The Micarta bedding ensures that the recoil lug seats securely against a solid wall of material, providing superior accuracy and performance.

Lightweight Hybrid Construction
The Gideon Stock features a hybrid design using Kevlar and carbon fiber materials to achieve a lightweight yet extremely stiff and impact-resistant stock. Carbon fiber offers high elastic modulus and bending strength, while Kevlar/Aramid fibers provide excellent torsion dampening, enhanced impact resistance, and superior energy absorption. The Kevlar/carbon fiber weave not only contributes to a lower weight but also enhances the stock's performance by absorbing more energy and providing exceptional dampening. This results in a stock that feels "dead" when shooting—characteristic of Foundation's signature feel.

Target Weight and Functionality
At a target weight of 32 oz bare, the Gideon is ideal for lightweight hunting builds. Depending on your configuration (including features like bipod attachment points and recoil pad choice), the stock typically weighs around 2.5 lbs. Despite its lightweight design, it retains the outstanding shooting characteristics that Foundation is renowned for, giving you a precise, stable platform for long-range hunting.

Crafted for Consistency
Foundation Stocks' manufacturing process has been carefully developed to ensure repeatable and scalable production. The core of the stock is constructed using a patented two-mold process that combines micarta with a lightweight closed-cell foam, which is then wrapped in Kevlar and carbon fiber for added durability and strength. This construction allows for exceptional energy absorption and dampening properties, resulting in minimal recoil and optimal shot accuracy.

Why Choose the Gideon?
The Gideon is the perfect balance between lightweight design and superior performance. If you're looking for a stock that delivers outstanding dampening characteristics, exceptional impact resistance, and precision accuracy while staying light enough for a hunting rifle build, the Foundation Gideon is the stock for you.

Skip the Wait
When you buy the Gideon Stock from Bullet Central, you can avoid the typical 20-week lead time from Foundation Stocks, ensuring you get your stock right away for your next build.

The Foundation Gideon Lightweight Hunting Stock combines the best of Foundation’s proven technology with the modern need for lightweight, high-performance hunting gear. Whether you’re targeting long-range precision or just need a reliable hunting stock, the Gideon is the perfect choice for your custom rifle.
