Chassis hinged buttstocks and accuracy

[fa38]

Some of the chassis guns have a hinge on the stock probably to get into a rifle case that they already have.

Does the hinged stock affect the accuracy of the rifle in any respect? i.e. does it set up bad or inconsistent vibrations when you shoot versus a solid stock, maybe due to a not so solid lockup of the hinge?

I submit, NO

A select few of the machined AL chassis systems can exhibit superior accuracy due to the feedback characteristics of the forends but the butts are "out-of-the-way" in the sense that they cannot feed back quickly enough to affect bullet exit.

And regarding the various folding plastic setups......again, no chance of anything, impulse or otherwise traveling from the folding stock to the action in any deleterious way.


IMO

Would you please list a few of them by name. I am in the process of building a f class rifle and am considering a chassis system instead of fiberglass or wood. Thanks.
