[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2243894, member: 68758"] This might help... [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/stress-free-pillar-bedding/[/URL] I've done it both ways, and it's obviously a time-saver to do the pillars at the same time as the receiver bedding. But as you said, setting pillars first gives you the opportunity to "confirm" clearances. Set the pillars (I use JB Kwik as it's fast setting), then place the action into the stock. I then confirm clearance all the way around the receiver sliding a piece of thin cardboard all around the sides and bottom of the stripped action. Should be free & clear all around except where it's sitting on the two pillars. When you do all at the same setup, you need to leave original material at the back of the tang to set the elevation, and tape wrap the barrel to both center, and establish elevation of the front of the receiver. When the pillars are pre-set, you need to relieve the entire tang area so that the action rests only on the pillar- and not the stock. [/QUOTE]
