They're not the same.Which would be better all for around shooting, accuracy, strength & weight?
Glass bedding?
Pillar bedding?
Aluminum bedding?
IMO, I would still skim bed if my stock came with aluminum blocks. I also slightly enlarge the action screw holes to ensure no contact w/ the action screws. If your stock doesnt have any alum blocks, I would put pillars in and bed the action. This said, I have a 308 that I skim bedded that shoots 3/8 grps and put it into a chassis stock that I bought here in LRH. POI changed but the group is still the same. Getting ready to try a chassis stock on a factory 6.5 creed varmint that shoots 1moa, to see if it improves enough I don't have to bed. If it works out I may start getting chassis stocks to save tim, due to the amount of tinkering I do. WRT weigh...I like a little weight to keep down on recoil and balance. Personal preference.
Manners EH1,w/ mini chassisWhich chassis did you experience this with?
No, I don't glue in hunting rifles. The only real reason for it is the tapered barrel. On a competition rifle we use a straight barrel channel so you can unscrew the barrel with the action glued in. You cant run a straight barrel channel in a hunting rifle so you would need to un glue the action to change barrels.Alex do you ever glue in hunting rifle action, those without a trigger hanger ???
