[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 507144, member: 5302"] You don't need to pillar bed the receiver. Pillar bedding was a "must" when the first synthetic stocks came out because the receiver area's material was too soft to withstand tightening stock screws to 70 inch-pounds or thereabouts. Solid or laminated wood stocks never needed it. Nor do the modern, solid synthetics with hard core material where the action goes. There's too many rifles out there winning matches and setting records with conventional epoxy bedding without pillars. Besides, the smallest groups with more than 10 shots in them I know of have all been done with conventional epoxy bedding. [/QUOTE]
