[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 2931084, member: 109917"] Okay, I have read alot since I posted this and just barely scratched the surface of bedding and benefit of pillars here. I want the pillars to establish a solid foundation between the bottom metal and action and to prevent any crush on that rear action screw. When I originally removed the factory bedding on the sides and in front of the recoil lug and forward of the action, the front screw felt solid when torquing while the rear felt "mushy", also the rear screw extended into the action. The reason I want pillars. I am now going to install the pillars first and then bed the action as best as possible on the X-Bolt. I am trying to wrap my mind around the best method to set the "height" of the pillars. The stock is proud everywhere around the action and bottom metal, so I am going to bed the bottom metal as well once I have the topside complete. This may turn into a giant cluster, but I will at least know if it's possible on the X-Bolt. This isn't my first attempt at bedding or pillars, but it is my first X-Bolt pillar attempt. [/QUOTE]
