[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2515894, member: 121677"] I have a question that has been rolling around in my head for a while, being a manufacturing guy it is probably/likely getting into minutia but I will ask anyway. I have a chassis or three and have NOT seen a problem, but I wonder what goes into the engineering and manufacture of your chassis to prevent the thermal growth or shrinkage of the chassis from affecting the rifle system? Aluminum and magnesium grow and shrink at vastly higher rates than the steel/stainless barreled actions bolted into them and I assume that the rigidity of the actions themselves prevent any ill effects? Being that I have not seen any issues also makes me assume that the chassis is released and re-clamped several times during machining to eliminate stress in the chassis? [/QUOTE]
