[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 1889974, member: 29241"] The amount of total surface area "grabbing" the action is the key. Pardon the analagy but when constructing a building one does not pour the footers and put "props" on corners to take all of the support. The load needs to be supported equally over entire area. The bottom metal is flimsy as well. Dont think that the aluminum block needs support by the bottim metal. Think how much surface area that block has gripping on its entire surface. Same even with no block. Look at all of the surface area of the entire action if being totally gripped equally by the bedding. I have seen the bluing worn off of the area where the pillar had contacted the action. Only a very small amount of support by the diameter of the pillars minus the hole in pillar to support most of the stress. With clearance around screw, it will move on those pillars. Yes, as mentioned before, the bedding only shrinks one quintrillionth of a whatever, it does shrink - leaving the support or grip of entire barreled action on almost no surface area, only the perimeter area of two pillars. With no pillars, the screws pull the entire surface area of the action into contact which gives much more support. If the screws can move inside the pillar, and the recoil lug has any flex at all there is movement. Basic physics. Think about it. [/QUOTE]
