[QUOTE="Joel Russo, post: 782585, member: 6152"] YES! Your action screws cannot touch the inside of the pillars or they will act like an additional recoil lug. If you are going to use the existing pillars, you should open up the inside diameter after you have finished the bedding. A drill press will work fine. It' s not uncommon for the inlet to be off center in the stock...I've seen my share of "crooked stuff". Either mill, Dremel, or sand away enough material in the action area to properly align the barreled action in the stock. I free float the action in the stock so there is no chance of binding. You can use the "tape on the barrel trick" here. Then proceed to bedding, then address the id of the pillars. I have a touch of that OCD disease as well, but I'm finding that the older I get the less severe it is. [/QUOTE]
