Bed or not bed: Impact Precision & Manners PRS1/4, T2A w/Mini Chassis

[Subwrx300]

To those that have newer Manners carbon stocks with Mini Chassis Gen2, have you bedded your actions into stock/chassis? I'm looking for those that have custom high tolerance actions (Impact, Curtis, Defiance, ARCs, etc) as I've mainly run factory actions with custom barrels which usually improve with bedding.

I've got an older Manners T4A and Howa 1500 action that improved noticably with bedding but no experience with the newest mini chassis.

Have you bedded and, if so, did it help? did you full bed or recoil lug + tang only?

I've got a Manners T2AGAP stock with the Gen 2 mini chassis and a Nucleus action. I bolted it in and torqued the action screws to 65 in-lbs on the front and 45 in-lbs on the rear and it shoots around a 1/2 MOA so I don't think there's any reason to bed an action in a mini chassis.

I’ve got a T4a w/ mini-chassis on the way also. Definitely interested to hear if people are bedding the recoil lugs or anything

Why would you bed a chassis/mini-chassis?

One problem that I can see with bedding a mini chassis is if you ever sell it you've greatly devalued it because you will either need to remove the bedding, which will mar the aluminum mini chassis, or whoever buys it will buy it at a discounted price because it's got epoxy bedding on the mini chassis.
