    The longer I shoot PRS the more my hunting rifles start to look like my competition setup. This is right up my alley. Dont stop doing reviews on quality components because everyone cries to much.

      Thanks! We try to spread it out. Foundation stocks are high end for sure. I also use much more modestly priced Boyds laminate stocks on several of my rifles and we've done articles on them as well. Also a good product, but at a different price point for sure.

    This is NOT a stock for everyone. There are many more affordable options out there, but like anything, there is a low budget, medium budget and higher budget option out there! For anyone that’s laid the cash out for a Foundation stock, including me, you know it’s worth the price and then some. Foundation is a great company with a great product! They’re winning PRS matches left and right for great reason. Is it expensive compared to other offerings? Yes! Is it worth it? Only you can decide, but if you like well made components, then this is a winner in my opinion. If you don’t like Gavin’s channel, then unsubscribe and find another one you like. It’s pretty simple. I find his videos well made, educational as well as entertaining, and he really does know his stuff. It’s his business model and it works for him! Don’t be jealous!

    Seems like a great high end hunting stock. Obviously a lot of people commenting don't understand Foundation is not a budget stock company. It's okay if it's not in your budget or something you see value in.

      Its not the price. Its the look. Its just ugly. It's like a block of 2x4 someone crudely took a file too, a paint job of a sloppy toddler, and different parts/materials just glued randomly together. Which is a shame as their normal micarta stocks look amazing.

      @TheTdwilson it might be put together nicely. But my original point still stands. It looks hideous and looks like it's put together crudely. "Looks," being the main word, not saying it is badly made, just looks like it.

    A friend of mine makes custom knives. He said micarta catches on fire easily and you have to be careful working with it. Also micarta surfaces will oxidize over time. It makes me wonder how a long string of shots on a hot day will affect the bedding surface.

    Gavin has definitely lost touch with what made him popular.
    “Hey my friend has a gun that won’t shoot, I’m going to see what the problem is. Look I replaced everything but the action and it shoots pretty good, so everything must have been the problem”.
    “Hey check out these ultra premium products that ordinary humans can’t afford, you should all get one, it’s totally worth getting a divorce over”.

      I disagree. The channel still puts out plenty of low budget content. Look at the last eight weeks.
      If you cannot afford a Ferrari, it just means that. Do you complain about someone reviewing it? You clearly are interested enough to look.
      They are expensive. I know personally. It is a life decision. Much like the Ferrari. It doesn't just mean the car. You need a garage and tools too. If that is not you, that is not you.

    I don’t get it. Who likes their hand hanging semi loose off the side to get a 90 degree trigger purchase? Why the huge distance palm swell to trigger? I sold all my Manners stocks for that reason and I have regular size hands, XXL gloves. The only stock I feel is designed well is the older Sako TRG. The rest is just crap and I moved to KRG and MDT chassis’ for that reason.
