[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 659455, member: 5302"] Wood stocks without pillars in their epoxy bedding's shot test groups at 600 and 1000 yards smaller than benchrest records. Pillar bedding was the solution to the first synthetic stocks' soft cores around the receiver. Nowadays, it's no longer mandatory like it was years ago. Yes, I mean that pad under the barrel from the receiver out for some distance. That's a sure cause of elevation shot stringing. Put a layer of masking tape in the fore end's barrel channel from where the receiver ring's at all the way forward. That'll keep epoxy from bonding to the stock in the fore end. Put masking tape on the sides and bottom of the recoil lug so there'll be clearance there making it easy to pull the barreled action out of the cured bedding and allow for a bit of compression without the recoil lug bottoming out.
