Before I retired from Gunsmithing (about 25 years ago) I worked on a lot of 700's. The best results I achieved especially with Magnums (7's and 300's) was full length bedding including recoil lugs. My theory was right or wrong it dampened barrel vibration which increased accuracy. It seemed to work pretty good for me ands my clients. Post 64 Winchesters when they came out were free floated so we normally full bedded them to get good groups especially the 264's which shot all over the place.

They use the pressure point method because it's easier and cheaper than bedding the action properly at the factory. I doubt a lot of their cheap plastic stocks would take a good pillar bedding job anyway. Take a look at any gunsmith's site who offers a "accuracy package" for 700 rifles. All of them properly bed the action and free float the barrel (on sporter weight and heavier barrels). yep
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
