I Screws went into the bottom of pillars not into the action like other 700 .....
It sounds like you are saying the pillars are tapped and the screws went into the pillars - is that correct? They are not just a "tube" that the screw passes through? If that is the case, it sounds like the receiver would be fastened to the pillars somehow making it permanently attached to the stock due to bedding and the screws were only used to hold the DBM. Or maybe I am just not following.
