[QUOTE="Black67, post: 1080192, member: 41359"] Everyone Well, I have completed the work on this project. The barrel is now nice and centered in the stock like it should be. I ended up putting pillars in the front and rear of this stock. For the rear near the tang, I put epoxy in the trigger cut out before drilling. As per Punisher, the drill bit would break out early into this area and then cause problems. So, I filled this in some with Devcon, as I had some on hand. I let it sit for about 5 days so that it would be cured. I also cleaned out most of the epoxy after the pillar was installed. The trigger assembly would make contact and not allow it to sit into the stock. The pillar and bedding kit that I used was from Score-High, and the adjustable pillars worked nice. I used a piloted counter bore with a hand drill for the pillars. For the rear pillar, I had to make a relief cut into for the small trigger spring. This spring caused the action to not sit correctly in the stock on the pillar. I made a small adjustment with the Dremel and a carbide tip, and not have a nice area for this spring to sit. I also bedded the first 2" of the barrel, and I could not believe the amount of material this took to fill. While I had the trigger off, I replaced the trigger spring too. The trigger is now just under 3 lbs and feels great. With the factory spring I was able to get it to about 3.2 lbs, but was very inconsistant. With the new spring, I average was within an oz or two of what I saw on my scale. As of right now, I have the stock torqued down at 50 in lbs. Now, I need to go and shoot the gun to see how it does. The next open range day that I can go to is a week out. I do want to thank all of you for your help with this. As this was my first job like this, your help and knowledge has been great. [/QUOTE]
