Bedding a chassis?

Guys my 6.5-06 is pretty accurate. It'll do half moa or less 3 shot groups at 100 easily and consistently from one day to the next as long as I hold up my end. With my physical limitations I find a chassis to be more comfortable to shoot. Particularly with the grip. Plus no bottom metal and the ability to use different mags is nice.
Lately I have been considering bedding the recoil lug/ front action screw area as well as the tang with Devcon. I could easily do the full length of the action as well but I don't think that would be necessary. I like to drill small holes in the areas that I bed to give the bedding compound a bit more bite. I skim bedded my 308 stock with bedding block with Devcon and it helped that rifle a lot. My gut feeling on the chassis is that it couldn't hurt and would have to provide a more solid, consistent fit with the action. I'm not worried about resale value of the chassis. I'd like to hear what y'all think.
 
Do it, full length bed that hog. POI shifts in chassis rifles is a thing since a chassis can't fit everything perfectly. You won't likely see any accuracy improvement but a repeatability improvement is likely.
