Was lucky enough to pick up a chassis I had wanted during the MDT Black Friday sale. Came today, looks great. Took a bit to find an extension that would work with my torque screw driver, the actions screws go pretty deep into the chassis.

My question is how many of you who are running a chassis had to bed it? Either a skim bed for full lug bed.
Read some things on both sides, and seen mystic precision had a post about skim bedding, and he knows his stuff, just wondering how many of you had to?

Or if you didn’t want kind of accuracy are you achieving?

I’ve bedded a few stocks now and always had this rifle shooting sub MOA at 100 and hitting an 18x24 plate consistently at 1000,

I won’t really know anything until I actually get to to put it on paper in this new chassis. So just looking for your thoughts and experiences with it!
 
I have a Stealth, (MDT) and it shoots very very well. I thought about bedding it but if it ain't broke............. 1/2 MOA 10 shot capable rifle, even with the poor rear stock.
 
Good job scoring the chassis on the sale, MDT does a great black Friday sale. I picked up x3 6br 12 round mags from that sale that I'm very happy about.

I don't own any MDT's so can't speak specifically to that chassis. Ultimately, do what the targets tell you to do, they tell the actual story. If accuracy is acceptable, rock on. If not, bed it. It may very well get better with bedding even if it is shooting good already. Only way to find out is to bed it, and shoot it pre and post bedding.

I left my chassis' (JAE) unbedded, and they shoot excellent. Reliable returns to zero when action is removed from chassis and reinstalled. Consistently shoots 1/3-1/2 MOA groups, with the odd group even better then that (1/10 - 1/4 MOA). In my case, I felt no need to bed my chassis. But your rifle may tell a different story.

Good to hear, it will be an interesting process as I’ve changed the bullets Iam going to be shooting as well. Excited to get it out, just wish it wasn’t dark by the time I get home from work now!
 
I would do the recoil lug at least. No conventional stock/chassis and action will ever have proper contact there without bedding.
 
No need to bed, the way it is designed negates bedding. When the company first started the owner/designer of the company did a test where they did one bedded chassis and one none bedded chassis. Both shot exactly the same.
 
I have 2 LSS chassis, my mossberg MVP came designed to fit tight on the recoil lug and didnt need anything. My rem783 had a loose fit around the lug to chassis and required a lug bedding....because OCD. Cant hurt it...at the very least you might sleep better.

Theyre black friday sale was amazing...the 12 round mags are slick
 
I wish I would have ordered some 12 rounders, ordered 3 fivers and 2 tens, the 12 would look really good in there

I have a mdt lss first gen on a tikka varmint and I bedded it. I got the odd flyer and thought it couldn't hurt to try and bed it . I used a carbide dremel to rough it up. I used devcon and kiwi shoe polish as a release agent. Got a 5 shot 4 and a half inch group at a thousand yds so I'd say it worked.
