[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1323147, member: 87243"] My father has 2 small ring 98 masers, 1 in 8mm-06 and the other in 6.5x55. Both are fully bedded, the entire way back, and both shoot outstanding. His long range rig, the 6.5x55, shoots spectacular, averaging under half MOA. In my mind, there is no reason not to pillar bed. If you research how to do it, you can make your own pillars and bedding kit with a quick trip to the hardware store. And if you look at the process, it is almost literally the same amount of work. The extra time put in is very little, and then you know your action is bedded the best it can be. Is it necessary to shoot MOA? No. Is pillar bedding better than not? Yes. So right there is your answer. I made my father a stock for a 1913 03-A3 Springfield with a douglas premium barrel chambered in 35 Whelen Ackley Improved, bedding is similar to a maser. This gun is shooting 225's at 2900 fps, and with that kind of recoil, it's good to know the bedding was done right. Anything worth doing is worth over-doing. [/QUOTE]
