[QUOTE="longtooth, post: 167098, member: 4039"] I probably didn't explain it correctly, I use the peanuts or cut out a piece of solid Styrofoam to fill the voids to within 1/8 of an inch of the barrel channel. then I cover it with duct tape and duct tape the barrel with two layers of tape and cover with release agent or Johnson's past wax, make sure their are no wrinkles in the tape, then I use Accra gel to bed the action when that is dry I apply a coat of gel along the barrel channel and over the void, then reset the action and barrel in the stock. Clean up any gel that oozes out along the barrel and when its cured remove the barreled action, you know have a solid stock with the barrel free floated, if you want to solid bed the barrel don't use the tape on the barrel just release agent. The recoil will have no effect on the bedding your stock will appear to be solid but without much weight added. I have done this to many stocks and they have never failed me. As to the pillar bedding of the rear action screw you can cut with a dermal or drill out the action screw hole to 9/16's but do it off center then cut a 1/2 piece of round stock to length and bed it into the stock, after it cures place the action into the stock and mark the location of the rear action screw and drill it out of the round stock, nothing says the pillar has to have the hole in the center.
