My First WOOX Stock: A Deep Dive into the Furiosa Micarta Build

A Game-Changing Upgrade

As a passionate shooter and firearms enthusiast, I’ve always believed in the value of customizing my gear to enhance performance and aesthetics. Recently, I took the plunge with my first WOOX stock, the Furiosa Micarta, and paired it with a Howa 1500 in 6.5 Creedmoor. The results? Absolutely phenomenal. In this article, I’ll take you through every detail of this build, highlighting the components, their performance, and why this combination is a must-consider for any shooter looking to elevate their setup.

The Heart of the Build: WOOX Furiosa Micarta Stock

The WOOX Furiosa Micarta stock is a masterpiece of engineering and design. Crafted with a combination of premium materials and precision machining, it seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. The micarta finish offers an unparalleled grip and durability, making it ideal for shooters who demand reliability in all conditions.

Beyond its stunning aesthetics, the Furiosa stock’s internal aluminum chassis provides a solid bedding for the action, ensuring consistent accuracy shot after shot. Adjustability is another standout feature, with the comb height and length of pull easily customizable to suit individual preferences. For me, this stock transformed my Howa 1500 into a precision rifle that exudes both style and performance.

The Core: Howa 1500 in 6.5 Creedmoor

At the heart of this build is the Howa 1500 action paired with a 26-inch cold-forged barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. Known for its exceptional out-of-the-box accuracy, the Howa 1500 is a favorite among precision shooters. Its short action and 5-round internal magazine offer smooth cycling and reliability.

The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge further complements this setup, offering flat trajectories and low recoil, making it perfect for long-range shooting. Whether you’re punching paper at 1,000 yards or dialing in on steel, this rifle delivers with precision and confidence.

The Optics: Arken EP5 5-25x56 FFP Scope

To maximize the potential of this build, I chose the Arken EP5 5-25x56 FFP scope. This first focal plane optic boasts a Zero Stop system, a 34mm tube, and a reticle with a mils scale—everything you need for precise adjustments and reliable tracking at extended ranges. The illuminated reticle adds versatility for low-light conditions, ensuring no target goes unnoticed.

The build quality of the EP5 is impressive, with crystal-clear glass and a rugged construction designed to withstand the rigors of field use. Mounted securely with Arken monolithic 34mm rings featuring a 20 MOA cant, the scope aligns perfectly with the rifle’s potential for long-range accuracy.

Rail and Mounting: Ensuring a Solid Foundation

For the rail, I opted for a 0 MOA Howa 1500 rail made from aircraft-grade aluminum. While some may prefer a 20 MOA rail for extreme long-range shooting, the 0 MOA configuration suits my current needs, offering a neutral base for mid- to long-range applications.

Paired with the Arken monolithic rings, this setup ensures a rock-solid foundation for the scope, eliminating any concerns about shifting zero or alignment issues.

Stability: UTG Big Bore Bipod

A precision rifle is only as stable as its platform, and the UTG Big Bore bipod delivers on all fronts. Adjustable from 9 to 14 inches, it provides ample height for shooting from various positions. Its 35-degree panning and 55-degree tilting capabilities offer flexibility, allowing for quick target acquisition and tracking.

Mounted on the Picatinny rail, the UTG bipod adds a level of confidence and consistency to every shot, whether you’re on the range or in the field.

The Experience: A Seamless Fusion of Components

Bringing all these components together has been nothing short of transformative. The WOOX Furiosa Micarta stock not only enhances the aesthetics of the rifle but also provides a stable and ergonomic shooting platform. The Howa 1500 action and barrel deliver consistent sub-MOA accuracy, while the Arken EP5 scope ensures I can engage targets with confidence at any distance.

The UTG Big Bore bipod ties everything together, offering stability and flexibility for a variety of shooting scenarios. From bench shooting to prone positions, this build excels in every aspect.

Elevate Your Precision Game

This build represents the perfect fusion of craftsmanship, performance, and practicality. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or someone looking to make their first major upgrade, the combination of the WOOX Furiosa Micarta stock, Howa 1500 action, and Arken EP5 scope is hard to beat.
