[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1078950, member: 48559"] On my first one, I used the steel sleeves from the factory plastic stock as the pillars. I made clay dams everywhere I didn't want bedding compound to flow, but found that my loosening and tightening of the screws (to make sure they didn't adhere) had actually turned the rear sleeve so the notch faced the front by the time the epoxy had set. I used my dremel to cut the back to reform the notch. It worked out fine in the end, and the rifle shoots very well. I am about to do another one and have aluminum pillars from MidwayUSA. I will install whole, and cut the notch as the final fitting. If you've never bedded a savage before, remember to keep the tang fully free floating- no contact behind that rear screw at all. Check for clearance all around the trigger parts inside the stock cavity as well. [/QUOTE]
