[QUOTE="huntforfood, post: 2480739, member: 114703"] I just did my mark 2 in a boyds stock with brownells pillars and bedded the action, trigger guard and mag/recoil lug screw area. first time doing bedding so i went with most difficult action, lol. I am an engineer, no machinst, and only had a drill press with small vice and angle adjustment. u will be lomoted by ur tools and planning. I used new drill bits, no pilot for the pillars. I was able to control the drill press and witha small vise to get 60 deg hole for front pillar. You have more room for error as you can fill in with epoxy and can oversoeze hole, i went to 9/16. I over sized front hole so I could drop in action with pillars attached, o set pillars woth action in place. Like Magnum Mamic said its a 2 to 3 part job. set pillars ,set action, do trigger guard and mag well screw. You have to plan your work and it takes time but is doable. If you have ADD dont do it hahaha. I used marine tex gray epoxy. and it turned out good, i am doing 5 different rifles so still have to reassemble everything. [/QUOTE]
