[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 421475, member: 13632"] Most of the Savages I have dealt with have been going into a new stock so I haven't really paid attention to the pillars in the OEM stocks. What kinda stocks have you experience loose pillars in, I'll have to make sure I check that out! Having the tang free floated seems to be very important with the Savages I have bedded. I had a little piece of bedding chip out on the back right corner one day and my rifle went crazy, so I started looking at it and found the tang had pressure on the back right hand side. So back home I watched as I loosened the action screws and you could see the twist come out of the action. I chipped out all the bedding and started over and things came back into alignment. The thin spot of bedding area between the box mag and the cut out for the sear is hard to get to take good, I ended up drilling little holed so there we're pillars of bedding to support the thin areas.
