[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1309131, member: 54178"] UPDATE: My gunsmith discovered there was [I]not enough wood [/I]in the Boyd's stock to support the aluminum pillars when drilled out to fit them. So no pillar bedding. He said the washers I had used on the front bolt (to get the magazine catch properly located) would help a lot and that the epoxy impregnated laminated wood was much denser than natural wood so pillar bedding was not as important. Lesson learned, at least for that particular rifle/stock combination. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
