[QUOTE="XLR Industries, post: 2515909, member: 123236"] This has to be one of the best questions that I have been asked! I talked to our engineers and they said that the thermal expansion is not something that we have worried about because we have not seen any effect on the POI or accuracy throughout the different temperatures. With that being said, if you leave your chassis out on a winter night and then torque it down, then you will be seating your action deeper into the chassis than if you were to do it during a hot summer day when the aluminum is expanded. We have not seen or heard of action screws coming loose when you take your rifle from the house to the field so we haven't tested it thoroughly. Through the process, the chassis is clamped a couple of times so that could also eliminate some of the expansion. That is a great question though and it would be something that would be really cool to test! [/QUOTE]
