I guess it depends on how the out of the box trigger feels. I must have the only African that came thru without a good trigger. But a few minutes work took it from mushy 4.25 lbs to fairly crisp just under 3.

I'm also going to glass bed this when I get around to it.
The boat paddle is a very basic (read low cost) molded stock. I believe my contact at the Newport plant quoted their cost as under $15. Bottom line, no pillars.
