[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 3098103, member: 31749"] I’m definitely notsold on the Foundation yet. Mainly because I haven’t been able to handle one yet. I like the ergos/fit of Manners stocks so that’s the more logical choice, but I do really like the faux-wood look of the foundation, and wouldn’t mind the extra weight for soaking up recoil. There’s about 2lbs between the options I’m considering, last trip I took to Colorado I was carrying a borrowed rifle that was built to similar specs but in the Manners EH1A and my general feeling is that 2 extra pounds wouldnt be a deal breaker all else being equal (I’ve got well more than that currently that I need to trim off my waistline). Disagree on the weight of the barrel though, comparing Bartlein’s specs, my #14/M24 carbon fiber is allegedly 9-10oz lighter than a comparable length #3B; I haven’t weighed both but subjectively in the hand this blank with an A419 hellfire brake installed, feels comparable if not ever so slightly lighter than the 26” #3B with 6 deep straight flutes than I am running on a different rifle (280 Rem).
