Catch-22

Thanks Andy. I may well get the gun bedded at some point in the future. Cheers

Yes I had, just removed from pic at that time.

Here you go Andy. Theres nothing on the chassis to suggest movement. I have marred the action finish a bit due to some Redline High Pressure grease I used on the bolt lugs reacting to some left over cleaning solvents unfortunately. I think this trickled down via the front action screw and got between the chassis and action unknowingly and wore away some of the actions surface finish between a cleaning one time. But it’s all cosmetic. Needless to say I don’t use Redline on my bolt lugs, I’ve gone back to the MilTec and take extra care now flushing the chamber and bore with isopropyl alcohol. Back to your question, I don’t see any signs of actual action movement in the chassis - which is good. If this was an F class rig, it would be bedded as a minimum, more likely glued and screwed. But for range/PRS style use, I think it’s fine! Interesting write up on PRS blog. Seems 50% of the top shooters skim bed their chassis. The reason given was not because they see accurate improvements or anything. It’s more they’re using it as an insurance policy in case they bang or drop the rifle during a strange at a match. But none seem to say it’s crucial to them. Again, f class is a whole different kettle of fish.

Just stick the Impact into an MPA Competition chassis - I had one built a few years ago complete with several barrels of each 6.5x47 and .223AI and it’s a great shooter. Ive never been a fan of the grip on my AI, the MPA is much better.

Still here.

RS52 is not too dissimilar to VARGET. It’s a bit more ‘high energy’ than N140 but less so than N540. But same sort of burn rate as N140. Lots of load data on the RS website, so as with any reloading, start on the low side and work up.
