Re: AICS bedding?
nope with the mcmillan stocks you need pillars and bedding to get a good solid surface but with the aics you have a aluminum block for full support

Re: AICS bedding?
altho you can bed them if you want to... and if your action is slightly bowed this is recomended but probably voids AI warranty

Re: AICS bedding?
Some gunsmiths skim bed the AICS. I was going to, but my 700 action set on the rails flat. I torqued it down, and the rifle is shooting 1/2" to 5/8" MOA...so I won't mess with the bedding. The stock is doing it's job!

Re: AICS bedding?
I had roscoe bed my AICS. Glad I had it done. I've handled 2 AICS's personally that generated torque when the action was screwed in. Was it the chassis or the action? Most likely the action.
There is no substitute for a good bedding job... in anything.

short answer is no, but if you want to add some security you could bed the rear tang.
Taking an idea from another member, I bedded the rear tang of the rifle, with the bedding on the tang and not the action, that way I could have multiple rifles sharing the same AICS stock. I also bought a torque wrench to use on the action screws.
