Foundation Stocks - Gideon Lightweight Hunting Stock, Impact Long Action NBK Action Inlet, Hawkins M5 Bottom Inlet, Blue River Finish

The Foundation Gideon Lightweight Hunting Stock is designed to meet the demands of serious hunters and precision rifle enthusiasts. As Foundation Stocks’ entry into the carbon fiber hunting stock market, the Gideon brings together innovative materials and craftsmanship to provide a stock that delivers both light weight and incredible shooting performance. Featuring the same Micarta bedding block used in Foundation’s competition stocks, the Gideon offers unmatched precision in its inletting, ensuring a secure fit for your Impact Precision Long Action NBK Action and Hawkins Precision M5 Bottom Metal.

Key Features:

• Action Inlet: Custom-designed for the Impact Precision Long Action NBK Action, this stock ensures a flawless fit and smooth operation for long-action builds.

• Bottom Metal Inlet: Compatible with Hawkins Precision M5 Bottom Metal (both Standard M5 and Hunter M5 DBM), allowing for versatility in magazine choice and increased reliability.

• Barrel Inlet: Supports up to M24 Contour barrels, providing flexibility in barrel selection while maintaining the stock’s lightweight design.

• Hybrid Construction: The Gideon stock uses a combination of Kevlar and carbon fiber weaves, combined with Micarta for superior stiffness, durability, and dampening. This hybrid design maximizes energy absorption and impact resistance, providing a stock that performs like a Foundation product but at a lighter weight.

• Micarta Bedding Block: The central bedding area is crafted from Micarta, known for its ability to ensure precision in the action and bottom metal inlets. This provides a stable platform for the recoil lug, enhancing accuracy and minimizing movement during shooting.

• ARCA Rail: Each stock includes a 4" short ARCA rail, allowing for quick attachment of bipods and other accessories, giving you flexibility in your shooting setup.

• Target Weight: With a target weight of 32 oz bare, the Gideon stock is exceptionally light, making it ideal for hunting rifles. Depending on your configuration (bipod attachment points, recoil pad choice, etc.), the functional weight typically falls in the 2.5 lb range.

• Patented Two-Mold Process: Foundation Stocks uses a two-mold process to create the Gideon stock. This includes binding the Micarta bedding block to a closed-cell foam core, which is then wrapped in Kevlar and carbon fiber to achieve optimal durability and weight distribution.

• Blue River Finish: The Blue River Finish on the stock provides not only a sleek, professional appearance but also protection against the elements, ensuring the stock holds up in various field conditions.

Why Choose Kevlar? The use of Kevlar/Aramid fibers in the Gideon stock plays a pivotal role in its performance. While carbon fiber provides strength and rigidity, Kevlar offers excellent torsion dampening and impact resistance. The combination of the two materials enhances the stock’s energy absorption, making it highly resistant to recoil and providing a smooth, consistent shooting experience. This is why Foundation Stocks has chosen to use Kevlar in this hybrid design—ensuring a "dead" feel when shooting, characteristic of the performance Foundation is known for.
