[QUOTE="isaaccarlson, post: 2339259, member: 33850"] Epoxy bedding does wonders by itself and is plenty on most rifles because the gun will usually shoot better than the nut holding it at that point. I installed only pillars in my 22lr and it helped. Then I bedded it and it all came together. Kind of backwards, but that's how I did it. Pillars remove the compression force from the wood, that's all. I love the feel of pillars but I don't think they are the magic fix people make them out to be. The bedding provides a solid mounting for the action and that reduces/eliminates any movement to start with. As long as you are not crushing wood fibers with excessive torque, bedding alone is fine. I could be wrong, but that's my opinion after several bedding/pillaring jobs. [/QUOTE]
