[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2287690, member: 10755"] All of my wood stocked rifles are free floated as soon as I get them and then I install aluminium pillars and bed the action. Most wood stocked rifles have a pressure point near the end of the fore end that requires removal. A broom handle wrapped with emery cloth works well at removal. Brownell’s sell pillar kits for Rem 700 actions, follow the instructions and you should be good to go if you’re mechanically minded. I found on wood stocks that 45in/lbs was about max without pilars, with pillars, 55-65in/lbs is max, really depends on the rest of the bed that’s been done. As Shortgrass said, the pillars must be done first in a stress free way, I use surgical rubber to wrap the action while the Devcon sets up. Then 24hrs after this I finish bedding the action in 2 steps, front of action and recoil lug, let it set-up again and then tang area. My specialty has been doing Ruger actions, I have that down and my own custom Ruger in 25-05 is an absolute tack driver giving me 1/4-3/8MoA on a regular basis with many different bullets. I just picked up a 257Bee, hoping it shoots just as good….fingers crossed. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
