Howdy folks-
I searched around but didn't find answers to all my questions on the subject. I am strongly considering getting a chassis as I work harder to become a precision shooter. I'm currently running with a Rem700 .308 AAC SD in a B&C medalist. It is not bedded. I am not setup for reloading, so I use factory ammo. I usually run about 1 MOA from the bench (have just gained access to a place that I can start running prone, I hope that this cleans up the group a bit more). With the advent of the XLR Element, I find myself in a position to get serious about the possibility of an equipment upgrade.
So my questions begin!
1) Will a chassis benefit a relative neophyte in this situation? Will it give a noticeable improvement in accuracy? (Or is the accuracy improvement, for a non-reloader, more likely to come from improved stock fit of a chassis?)
2) Will a chassis alter my learning curve?
3) Is there truly no fitting/etc to install the chassis? Just drop it in and bolt it on?
Thanks very much for your thoughts
