[QUOTE="j_unzicker, post: 749573, member: 28887"] Took apart the rifle today...noticed some slight wear or rub marks on the action where it connects with my pillar. Is it possible that my main contact is just on the pillars and not on the glass? When connected the pillars to the action, I made sure to only hand tighten them until they were snug rocking them back and forth while tightening them until they stopped rocking. When I set the receive into the stock with the bedding material, I only tightened it until snug with the hand screws and then backed out of about 1/10th of a turn. So, I thought that I was doing it right, but could the be a pressure point issue here? I guess it wouldn't hurt to shave off the bedding around the lug and pillars and reapply bedding making sure not to over tighten. Am I right in understanding that you want the pillars to be just set under the level of the glass so that the action sits on the glass and not the pillars? I'm pretty sure that you want the trigger guard to be contacting the pillars on the bottom side, but what about the action and tang? Any help with those thoughts would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
