If done right, pillars will definately give a good, solid, and stressfree platform for the action to rest on. Also, it will eliminate any chance of the stock, whatever the material, from being crushed from tightening or over-tightening of the guard screws.

All of the above are desirable if you are wanting an accurate rifle, and in my opinion, a rifle that will range from a little to a lot more accurate than a rifle with conventional bedding.


123, So you've crushed McM's without pillars? I go TIGHT with bottom metal and haven't seen any compression with any of mine, ADL's/BDL's/and various mag systems.

I've not seen an accuracy issue stemming from a stock not having pillars....not yet anyways.


Regardless of the stock material "If done right, pillars will definately give a good, solid, and stressfree platform for the action to rest on."

This is the point I was trying to make, and in my opinion, pillars are the only consistant way to get that precise of a fit. And I have seen accuracy issues stemming from a stock not having pillars.

You don't know if you were having accuracy issues until after you pillar bed. If accuracy improves, then, yes, you were having accuracy issues.
