[QUOTE="JuddL, post: 3071181, member: 110787"] You’re getting into a philosophy of pillars…many want bedding on top of them, many want the action sitting on top of the pillar. The theory for bedding on top is as the bedding settles (and sometimes minutely shrinks) you don’t want the action just sitting (some describe it as teetering) on the pillars. The other side of that argument is by putting bedding on top it could crush the bedding/stock until you get to the pillar. You’ve got to decide where you lie on the subject. I’ve had and done both…my opinion is it doesn’t matter, we aren’t crushing these new stocks and pillars are more for feeling good than protecting these current stocks (sans wood stocks). Good luck, at minimum…I make sure the barrel is free floated. [/QUOTE]
