[QUOTE="j_unzicker, post: 749746, member: 28887"] Yeah...that's what I did wrong. Upon closer look. What I thought was rub marks on the action at the pillars was my loc-tite pooled inbetween the action and the pillars. I think I followed the instructions for a "recess" pillar bed job. However, a lot of posts I have read on the Rem 700 have suggested a "flush" or even somewhat "floated" pillar bed job (where the action only sits on the pillars and does not touch the bedding. The thought is that pulling the action down on the bedding causes a stress point in the space between the action and the pillar. I was instructed to only slightly snug the pillars onto the action before inserting into the stock with the bedding material. It sounds like I should have really tighted them down onto the action so that they were making good contact. Sand down some of the bedding to bring the pillars in full contact with the action, or remove some of the bedding and rebed? I'm learning more than I ever wanted to on this job. lol. [/QUOTE]
