You could always call Tracy @ Bartlein.

Thanks, my barrel is a REMAGE light varmint criterion. It is .803 @ twenty and we were discussing barrel fit in various McMillan sporter stocks. I have narrowed it down to the REM Classic and the REM sporter..........prolly gonna go with the classic. See stockys stocks has em in stock, don't know if they are pillar bedded though. Gotta call and see hopefully they are. I will open the channel up to fit my light varmint barrel
