I am planning to free float, and bed a remington model 7 with a factory stock. Would I be best to install pillars? is there an advantage to be gained versus not pillar bedding in a synthetic stock?

Also the model 7 stock is pretty bendy in the foreend (not as bad as a factory savage) but not great either. I am concerned that this is not ideal for shooting off a bipod. I had a look at the stock and I was considering epoxying in a single carbon fibre arrow shaft as a way of gaining some stiffness without increasing weight too much. Would this be a viable option?

Or would i be far better to save my schekels and buy a cheapish (working to a tight budget) but hopefully better Bell and Carlson carbelite classic
