[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 992665, member: 25383"] I did my first stock (a savage BV laminate) before you could buy the pillars off the shelf. Thinking about, the answer was easy. I dug thru the scrap tub at work for three or four 4 flute core drills that were about six inches long. I then ground down the first one inch or so to a diameter that was about the same as Savage drilled the holes in the stock. The pilot was long enough that the drill didn't wobble. I made my own pillars, and that was not slam dunk! They have to fit the bottom of the receiver, and of course the screws have to be a good fit. I've used Hardemans and Super Belzonia epoxies, and both work very well. Buy good screws, as 90% of the heads are crooked to the threads. gary [/QUOTE]
