[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1889766, member: 93138"] My own thinking is that if the metal of the block does not extend thru the stock to contact with the bottom metal, then metal needs to be added so that there is an all metal column for the action screws to pass thru. If the bedding block does contact the bottom metal then there is no place to put a pillar. Maybe I misunderstand the point of pillars, but to me they are so that when the action screws are tight it is all incompressible metal that the screws are tightening against. If anything between the bottom metal and the action is compressible (i.e. something not metal and/or something not specifically designed to compressively loaded) then the torque on the action screws becomes a very finicky variable.
