[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 607170, member: 2736"] The main reason that we pillar bed is to prevent the action from moving or changing the fit of the stock to the action under all conditions Firing, humidity,heat,cold,shooting positions and anything else that would make the rifle inconsistent. Accuracy is also affected if the fit is not absolutely stable. So it is not so much the method but the end results. Some shooters actually glue the action into the stock to make sure it doesent change. I believe in doing a full pillar and bed so that if it does not like it it can be removed in certain areas by small amounts until it does what you want.(This does not happen often but on several occasions I have "Tuned " the bedding) and the results were great. Like some stock materials a good bedding job helps manage the harmonics. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
