[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1241277, member: 2736"] I also believe in bedding the stocks with chassis to avoid the chance of it not shooting the first time. (Sometimes they will shoot good without bedding but you cant depend on it). Most Chassis are not set up to bed and they do not have true pillars the way they are made. If you look at your stock you can see that the action screw hole does not contact the action because of the groove. (This is common with bedding block stocks) and a metal shim or a pillar should be added to support the action and give it metal to metal to metal contact for best results. In many cases I just bed a washer or insert to this area or drill out the action screw hole and thread a pillar all the way through to eliminate any chance of compression of the bedding material in this area. (I like the action and floor metal setting on the pillar). When done this way I find that actions stay torqued correctly for ever. Chassis systems give the stock a good foundation for bedding and if prepared properly makes for a very good bedding job. Also most chassis are designed to have the recoil lug contact the chassis in back. I always remove some of the material with a mill or Dremel in the lug slot so that bedding can go between the lug and the chassis for best results. Some don't believe in bedding chassis, but I do because it is just one less thing to worry about when load development starts. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
