[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 612597, member: 26019"] With the exception of the angled bottom screw like the M77, the pillars have nothing to do with recoil because that is the recoil lugs job. A pillars only job is to keep the stock from compressing when the bottom screws are tightened. Soft Material stocks such as wood or the soft non reinforced tupperware brands need them. Hard Stocks like fiberglass, carbon fiber do not need them and can be used the way they are shipped. Soft material stocks do not skim because the bedding cracks out and they need to have different areas enlarged so the bedding is thick enough not to crack. The hard reinforced fiber stocks all use a resin to hold those fibers together which for all practical purposes if compatible is exactly the same thing that our bedding material is ( they are all Polymers) and if temperature makes a difference to a relatively thin bedding just imagine how much difference is being made to the entire stock I'm pretty sure everyone has a different thought on how to bed and pillar and I cant really say that the differences make any difference at all as long as they have been nicely done and with the right thoughts in place [/QUOTE]
