[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1069686, member: 2736"] Pillars perform one function and bedding performs another. Pillars, when installed correctly prevent the action screws from compressing the stock into the action changing the torque value on the screws. (As the material compresses the torque will be decreased) Because if they are done right you will have a metal to metal to metal make up preventing any compressing. Bedding done correctly makes the action fit the stock perfectly and prevents the action from moving in any direction that would/could change the Harmonics and/or the point of impact. It also holds the action screws centered in the pillars, preventing them from becoming the recoil lugs. (Very bad). I do not bed without pillars or pillar without bedding, because they work best when combined. Just installing pillars or adding a little bedding around the tang and recoil lug is not the best way to get all of the performance from a rifle IMO. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
