    So I ended up getting a foundation Samson for my Terminus Zues QC. It came with the brass weight/rail. Way too heavy, switched to Aluminum and removed ALL Brass I could find. Still to heavy. I like the stick but it is too heavy still. I could try to sell it ( with both sets of weights) or find a way to remove another couple of pounds. Not sure how much ditching the black top weights buys. Not sure how to safely bore out the butt stock. Any ideas?
     
    I won’t be permanently altering the stock. Decided last night. Yes I know I bought the wrong stock. I ordered a Centurian the vendor offered me the Samson as it was arriving in a week as opposed to the 2-3 months for a centurion. Did not realize I would end up with a 24 pound rifle. Will just remove the front weights ( 11 oz) and live with it
