[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2626519, member: 68758"] Re-read what I posted. This would be the case if the pillars are pre-installed. If they're placed the same time the receiver is bedded, there's nothing to hold them at the correct elevation other than the rear tang of the action. If the inletting for the bottom metal is precise, you could leave a "virgin" area there as well- but there needs to be a solid surface either top or bottom to be able to hold the bottom metal/pillars/receiver as an assembly at the desired elevation. The pillars establish the [I]distance[/I] between the bottom of the receiver tang and bottom metal- not the elevation. If you were to wallow-out the tang area before bedding, you could set the back of the action too low (which would also result in the bottom metal not being flush with the bottom of the stock where it should be).
