[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 2245256, member: 108576"] I have used adjustable pillars and they have worked great.I set them to my desired height and glue the top so I can adjust the bottom part of the pillar.I made a steel templet to set the top just a bit above the stock on both front and rear. When I get what for the bottom adjustable part of Pillars I glue from the bottom so the adjustable part is non-movable.Levels everywhere so all is straight. Before I pour bedding compound and the pillars are glued in I sit my action on the pillars and tighten the action screws a little at a time and with a dial indicator I check for stock stress.If one Pillar is higher than the other it will cause stock stress.Stock stress can cause stock cracking and poor accuracy because it has the action in a bind. Just some of the things I do when Pillar bedding a stock,wood or synthetic [/QUOTE]
