![]() ![]() This is what creates the stresses that Mark referred to. The issues with most bedding blocks and V block type chassis' is a serious lack of surface area and an inconsistent OD along the length of the receivers that are bolted into them (put a bit of clay into the block and then torque your receiver in). "Bedding" blocks are a misnomer.Ultimately, what has to be decided is, will the system provide an acceptable level of performance? But bear in mind, "acceptable" is relative. You dont have to worry if someones bedding job is going to fit your rifle. Mounting blocks are also very nice for resale. So this brings you back to square one, WHY pay the premium for a mounting block if you are just going to spend the money to bed it anyways? Seems counter intuitive, but maybe its just me. I have no experience with BC or Choate but I would venture a guess they not as quality as Manners or AICS or IMB (nor is a remmy or a savage a defiance or stiller), so a skim bed could potentially help. The problems happen with production actions and possibly cheaper mountingn blocks not being machined to higher tolerances. I have a defiance in a AICS and a stiller in a Sentinel IMB, and the rifles will hold sub half MOA no matter how many times I disassemble to clean. With a quality mounting block (like the AICS, Manners mini chassi, and the Sentinel IMB) and a quality action, I would bet my last dollar you would not be able to tell the differrence w/a skim bed. ![]() The point is not whether or not it will hurt, the point is it is not going to be a necessary thing to do. I'm gonna go with what my gut told me in the first post and skim bed them. ![]() Hadn't seen it discussed before, and sure don't need to raise it from the dead again.
