RE: Pillar bedding
ShatoDavis is giving you good advice. I've found that adding pillars and bedding eliminates anyquestions andstabilizes the action in the stock. I haven't found the need to bed forward of the recoil lugmyself. I use threadedlamp pipe from the hardware store for pillars,I drill out the holes so that the lamp pipe threads in the hole then remove and coat with epoxy and threadback in. I use a dremel to cut to length and to contour to the action. Works well.
