[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2447701, member: 30902"] I don't know of any BR guys that are "gluing" their stocks to the action but if they are they don't need pillars or screws at all since they'll be permanently bonded until the stock is chiseled or cut off from the action. Pillars work great even with no bedding at all as they can be used to completely free float the action and barrel together. There are two schools of thought on bedding, either full contact or no contact other than the lug and chamber area. The reason you don't want contact between the screws and pillars is to avoid inducing any uneven/unequal force on the action. Now when installed properly You already have contact between the action, actions screws and pillar because the action screws join the bottom metal to the pillar when done properly. If they don't, then installing the pillars can do little good because you're still going to get some crushing of the stock when you torque it down. I'm sure what you're doing works for you, but the explanation really doesn't make a lot of sense. [/QUOTE]
