Question because I really do not know. Does a $3-400 Chassis on an FV result in a worthwhile change in accuracy?

Maybe, maybe not. The point to a chassis is it offers the most Rigid & BEST method of eliminating Action screw creep. By means, this offers the greatest aptitude of accuracy. But it does not mean accuracy will improve just because. It’s the same with a barrel. If your Rifle is already shooting lights out with the factory barrel, swapping to a Bartlein is not likely going to increase accuracy. But it might.Originally Posted by wbm
What is the definition of “Action screw creep” ?
I think he is pointing out that an un pillard stock will compress and the action screws will not maintain torque. Or was he.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
As far as I know?, the 12FV stock has always come with steel pillars. Mine came with a steel trigger guard. Even the old Stevens 200’s I have bought since 2007, that had plastic trigger guards, have steel inserts in them where the screws go. This provides steel on steel from the screw head to the action. It can take 60” #’s of torque, for those who think this is beneficial, without stressing the action.
By the way. The Remington BDL tupperware stock is NOT pillared. It is action, bottom metal, and TUPPERWARE MUSH IN BETWEEN.
Same here, my 12FV factory stock has steel pillars and trigger guard.
Thanks Dave.
Do you know of any good tutorials for actually doing pillar bedding?
I'm thinking of pillar bedding my Savage Mark II in a Boyds Pro Varmint stock, but haven't done it before.
Depends on if there is a loose nut behind the sights.
There seems to be a large number of people that immediately modify for accuracy before shooting their rifle. How do you measure improvement without shooting first.
I sold a 40x once to a guy who said the first thing he was going to do was replace the barrel (22 lr). "Why?" I asked. His answer was so it would group better.
I told him to shoot it first. He kept the factory barrel. It would shoot above his ability.
That reminds me of people using a borescope in the bore and condemning the barrel before firing a single shot.
