[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 901537, member: 2736"] Pillars by them selves Is only half of the process just like bedding without pillars is only half done IMO. Bedding by it's self can produce very good results. The problem is, with hard service accuracy can slowly go away if the stock will compress at all. (The only one that I know of that will not compress is an all aluminum stock. So, IMO if you want long life out of your bedding you need to Pillar bed it. But if it is not done right you have wasted you time. (It should be Metal to metal to metal contact) Torque values will change over time without pillars and POI and accuracy can and does change. There are a lot of very accurate rifles out there that are not bedded at all. But in time and with use all this changes because the stock is compressing and no longer holding the action the same way. In my opinion it is only overrated If someone doesn't want to take the time and effort to complete the job. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
