[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2245152, member: 109994"] I got the stock bedded last night. I drilled the holes for the pillars (oh man I need to get a drill press 😓) and dryfit the action into the stock with pillars attached prior to removing any wood. The pillars were dang near perfect length and would contact the bottom metal nicely if using the inlet surface as reference height. So I decided to bed the whole thing at once with pillars. I removed wood from the inletting except for right behind the range to use as height reference and used the tape wrapped on barrel as the front height reference. It went really well except I pushed down on the front a little too hard and so the front pillar protudes maybe 1/32" out from the bottom metal inlet. I should be able to just sand that flush though since they're aluminum pillars. I used electrical tape to secure the action, which I've done before and it works well. I'll get to break it out either tonight or tomorrow morning. [/QUOTE]
