[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 607141, member: 10291"] I prefer the pillars/or block extend to include contact with the bottom metal. In this case you can torque the stock screws to 65#. This eliminates the possibility of the stock compressing over time. If the bottom recess for the bottom metal/trigger guard assembly is mated to the synthetic stock material or wood should back off the torque to 40-45#. I also use non supporting bedding with pillars or just skim coat a bedding block. I also bed the first couple of inches of the barrel where it meets the recoil lug. As to whether all this effects accuracy, sometimes yes, sometimes no. But it's good practice and rules out poor accuracy due to bedding issues. [/QUOTE]
