I saw a thread, I think on here, that stated which after market stocks need and dont need bedding for accuracy. Can someone send me the link or the info.
After Market Stocks that dont require bedding?

Re: After Market Stocks that dont require bedding?
Some people believe that the Manners mini chassis, AICS and the Bell & Carlson with the Aluminum block do not require bedding. However, every stock should be at least skim bedded to ensure proper contact between the action & recoil lug and the stock.

McRees Precision do not require bedding whatsoever. He did testing and switched stocks on an action with zero POI change... Great chassis system!

I would agree, my findings indicate that the Mcrees chassis is the only chassis that does not put any stress on the action. This is because the rear tang is fully supported and does not rest in a " V ".

aics stocks do not need bedding. probably other vee block stocks are the same but the aics is the one i work with most.

Re: After Market Stocks that dont require bedding?
I have found some HS stocks that were a terriable fit to the action and some that were as designed. I use prussin blue to check contact, and a dial indicator to check stress and it will blow your mind how bad some "drop in" chassis style or aluminium block stocks are. Now I have only had hands on 1 Mcree but it was amazing, the fit to the action and the recoil lug was great! Not to mention the rifle (that was also built by Scott) shot very good. So my point is check your stocks if you have an accuracy problem.

I agree based on the McRee I have handled but the outside tolerances on some actions are not held to such tight tolerances, inconsistencies in the OD of some actions can induce stress when torqued into the chassis. I wouldn't worry about skim bedding a Surgeon etc but plan to skim bed my Savage this spring.

Mcrees just makes the inlet differently than other "V" block designs. I check most stocks the same way and have the same findings.
While no Chassis system is required to have them bedded (that is the whole purpose of the system) most full time builders will recommend that they are bedded.
While some rifle still shoot very will with a "high stress" set up, its not ideal and if one could choose between the two, its a no brainer to go with a stress free setup. The Mcrees chassis works every time with no distortion to the action.
No one can argue the fact that most "V" blocks will bend and put stress on the action, the topic that can be debated is how much that effects the rifle itself.

Re: After Market Stocks that dont require bedding?
I found a good deal on a HS precision 5R stock. It shoot well without bedding, but I figure glass bedding it won't hurt anything...Debating on whether or not to attempt it myself...
