{Morpheus} if I was to tell you that your Rem700 clone probably only contacts your "V' block style chassis with a less than 15% area contact patch.... what would you do?
We've found through the years that bedding a rifle will improve its repeatability and accuracy by at least some small margin. The actual improvement varies with both the quality of the rifle and the stock, but don't kid yourself. A small improvement to a great shooter is important, a big improvement to a new shooter is game changing. It will allow them to grow with confidence in themselves and in their equipment. Getting them to enjoy themselves while in the pursuit of growing as a shooter. So a worthwhile improvement in wringing-out the maximum potential of any rifle - priceless.
While in the Armory recently we took the time to take some rough measurements (and photos) of a couple of chassis and and calculated the contact patch area.... and we were being generous.... its basically the width of a pencil line down each side of the v-block. It is no wonder zero's change, float, and fliers are a constant anxiety.
15% contact in our world is "less than ideal". You wouldn't accept that for your rings holding your scope, your bi-pod on your rifle or tires hitting the road. Why would accept it in this super critical area?
The industry wants you to think that chassis are plug and play, that you will get all these added benefits and accuracy. But how do they inlet for round receivers that are all slightly different in diameter, some warped and others not actually straight along the axis? Answer, they use a v-block design. Works for all the above, but there is a big difference between working, working well, and perfection.
Please note that the Matrix chassis we show in the video is not an example of poor quality, they are fantastic chassis. It is an example of the "V-Block" design that is common amongst most if not all chassis. So brand and even price points don't matter or escape from the known issues of the "V-Block" designs.
