[QUOTE="Carlos88, post: 2447655, member: 116554"] Pillars were not designed for bedding. The were designed to stop wood and the newly designed synthetics from being "crushed" when torque was applied to the action screws. It only takes about 15in/lbs of torque to stress an action. Now just think about a pillar not being perfectly even nor have 100% contact with the tang and receiver. Ask a benchrest shooter why they glue stocks in without pillars. BTW, I'm talking about bedding 8lb or less hunting rifles. Rifles that have 1" diameter to the muzzle I do not shoot nor own. If I remember correctly it was Kelly McMillan that introduced pillar bedding back in the mid to early 80's. You can google it to find the info. Another no-no is to have action screws touching the pillars. The reasoning behind that is the same reasoning behind not having metal to metal contact between the receiver and the pillars. [/QUOTE]
