[QUOTE="Centre Punch, post: 117650, member: 3048"] Col, The whole idea of pillar bedding is for the action to contact the pillars. The pillars provide a non compressable area of the bedding job to precisely torque the action to without crushing what would otherwise be part of the stock. There are two schools of thought on the bedding of the recoil lug. Some like to completely bed the recoil lug, leaving only clearance on the bottom of the lug and have the lug absorb all the recoil forces including the torquing of the action during firing. This method does not need excessive tightening of the action scews but has a downside in that removal of the action from the bedding can be difficult. By clearanceing the front, sides and bottom of the lug you are relying on the lug to absorb recoil but the action screws to control torgue, thats why it is reccommended to tighten the action screws to 45 to 60 lbs/in. I prefer to use the complete bedding of the recoil lug my self but the choice is yours. Ian. [/QUOTE]
