[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1654080, member: 87243"] It's good that they do, many of the savages come with steel pillars I know, I have only seen the issue with stocks without pillars, though it may be possible to happen with stocks that aren't bedded but have pillars, I don't know. Part of it I'm sure is the round action in many cases being forced down by torquing of action screw, this combined with the shock of recoil causes cracking of the lamination. With the flat bottom type Rugers I wouldn't be surprised if some of them come cracked from the factory, the angled recoil lug screw and the fact that they say they torque their front action screw to [B]90[/B] in lbs likely contributes. And if they aren't from the factory, a few shots torqued that tight very well may do it. I wouldn't even torque an aluminum chassis that tight, let alone a bare wood stock!! with the Rugers I have pillar bedded, I always torque to 50-65 in lbs and make sure the barrel is floated and they always shoot fantastic.
