I have another stocking project in mind, maybe. And am considering using pillars to bed the action in a wood stock.
While I have stocked rifles since the mid 60's using both semi inletted and blanks, I have never bedded the actions with pillars, only just in the wood or with Acra Glass.
I have just finished reading an article on the net by Kelly McMillan that pretty much describes the process that they use. And writes that the primary advantage of using pillars is to eliminate any compression of the stock near the action screws over time. His piece is aimed at the composite stock mostly. And writes that, given good glass bedding of the action, there may be no advantage to using pillars. I intend to use a walnut stock.
So, my questions are ---
Do any of you have any personal experience with pillar bedding? Or had this done? have you noticed any measureable improvement in grouping? Is it worthwhile or no in your opinion? worth the extra effort or not as far as accuracy goes?
Don't need or want any long winded regurgitated tribe based the gun rags or the net. I can find all that myself.
