[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 803296, member: 2736"] Good question !!!! When you bed only, the stock material can compress over time and change the POI and the torque on the action screws. The pillars make the fit a floor metal to pillar metal to receiver metal fit (Nothing can compress with time). If you try to pillar only the action will/may not contact the stock and be allowed to shift around. The idea of a full pillar bed is first to make the stock fit the action perfectly and stress free so there is no flexing/binding of the action and no compression of the stock or the bedding in the areas of the action screws. When pillar bedding is done properly the rifle is very consistent and will last a long time with minimal removal from the stock. In most cases the bedding will out last the barrel if done right. To me one is not good without the other. Install pillars and bed the action and you are done. A good bedding job with pillars will also tell you when a load is changing(Different batches of powder, primers or cases) So you can fix the problem instead of chasing non existing issues. I completely bed ALL stocks including inserted/V Block composite and laminates. This Is just my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
