My cheap Savage bolt action came with an AccuFir stock that is supposed to be Pillar beaded. It is my understanding that the metal pillar should be slightly proud of the plastic (or at least even with the plastic). As you can see, both pillars are hiding inside the plastic. Thus, imo they aren't pillar bedded at all. Am I wrong?
goodwill murfreesboro tnIt has pillars, obviously. It's a factory stock, so you get what you get. Can they get away with saying it's "pillar bedded"? Yes. Is it right: No...
Not shockingly, it shot like crap.
I believe that. The reason I always fine tune the bedding. IE: "properly glass bed" every rifle I own. You'd be surprised that just about every factory rifle has schidt for bedding and accuracy/precision can be improved upon, by the simple feat of glass bedding. Even the aluminum bedding blocks that Al made reference to can be out from action to action, and need a good "skim" bedding. You also have a lot of people here that think you can throw a rifle in a high dollar stock like a Mcmillan, because it's the "best of the best" and can't be improved upon right, and be fine without glass bedding. That is a fool's errand and huge misconception, but those types don't get it. Much like a democrap won't listen to reason. Just my take on what I see here..
