[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1475305, member: 2736"] Action screw torque is based on the stock material, not the action screw its self. Pillars prevent stock material compression, So a stock with pillars can take more torque without compressing the stock material over time causing action screws to loosen or reduce the torque and possibly changing the group size or the point of impact. Scope base and ring screws are much smaller and the torque values are based on the screw strength to prevent breakage. It is common for stocks made of any material to compress over time and lower torque or loosen action screws so I always recommend pillar bedding all stocks that don't have them. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
