Bedding pillars are a big help in wood stocks. While most are 9/16 or 5/8 in diameter, some, like those found on some factory Savage rifles, can be thin tubes. Aluminum is the most common, but steel, G10 and epoxy can be encountered. I'm gonna get a pump through MM and now I gotta decide what glass to put on it. Bedding pillars are found in different materials and thicknesses. I went through Tim Mac1, I figure it is worth it to have him do a few mods to it first. I'm a larger guy so the extra 15oz shouldn't bother me too much, and they look and feel so much nicer in wood, along with the better rigidity as well. Before glassing, Drill your action screw holes out a large as possible without the hole showing on the outside of the metal/wood, then after the glass has cured, drill the glas out enough to prevent any stock screw to stock contact. The weight difference comes out to half a scope or like 15% which is somewhat considerable. Glass bed BEFORE you float as it helps keep the action in the proper position during bedding. Obviously where the stock forks around the barrel there is a lot of movement and it surely isn't rigid, but it it uniform each time? Does it affect the harmonics in the barrel? Certainly one could argue t hat it should affect a springer more than a PCP due to the extra time the pellet is in the barrel during the shot cycle of a springer. I think it comes up more than folks realize and its something that I noticed when I was testing different holds on my synthetic X25. I think it would require a fairly large amount of work to control the variables involved to say either way for certain.
