[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 327335, member: 11717"] Chad, I really, really appreciate the explanation. I have a good handle on marksmanship, ballistics and handloading (I think) but this is one area that's always been a little fuzzy to me. This statement turned on the light... lightbulb I knew that the action/guard screws were not supposed to touch the pillars or stock but wasn't sure why. I basically thought the barrel/action was tied into the the stock by the recoil lug AND its contact with the stock bed/pillars. Looking at my HS Sendero stock, the pillars in the aluminum bed are recessed in the bedding area no contact with the action at all. The beddimg block is carrying the tensile load via the pillars and judging by the rub marks on the receiver bedding block, the contact points are on the edges. If I wanted to skim bed the stock, the action would have to basically float on the bedding compound. Any thoughts? Are those pillars your creation? If so, do you sell them? If not, where can I get some? Thanks for taking the time to educate me, Mark EDIT: If I wanted to get an aftermarket recoil lug down the road, when I get a rebarrel/ blueprint, would bedding now be a bad idea? [/QUOTE]
