[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1654845, member: 48559"] My own impatience provided a lesson on my first DIY build. I had various parts ordered for the final project, but wanted to shoot before everything had arrived. With the original barrel still on the action, I just bolted on the replacement stock ( a Boyd's laminate ) and headed to the range WITHOUT DOING THE PILLAR BEDDING FIRST. When I pulled it apart after the new barrel arrived to finish all my upgrades I found to my chagrin that the laminations had separated under the rear action screw (savage action- you know how big a pain in the butt they are to bed with the sear so close to the screw hole...). Inspired by the old practice of installing crossbolts through traditional wood stocks on rifles in "Africa" magnum calibers I "farm-boy engineered" the repair using a piece of coarse thread wood screw for a cross-bolt embedded in epoxy as a part of my pillar bed job and can report several thousand rounds with no signs of failure. Bedding first, shooting second. Much happier outcome that way. [/QUOTE]
