On a last note, should the recoil lug in the front of the magazine be pillar'ed as well?
 you want a piller under your lug thinking you would be well ahead to let your good smith fix there mess at there expense. |

Didn't think so, but I was curious... I only ordered the two pillars for the action. You're still missing it. I wanted two FACTORY installed pillars. As far as I was explained, these are molded-in during the fabrication phase. If I wanted to give my 'smith extra work, I'd have him work up some loads for my rifle. I was always annoyed when someone came in at work and say "give me so and so", but later decided "well you may as well add this and this, and that too". Then people wonder a gunsmith has such a hard time managing... Well... Time!  |

Ya I read you want 2 pillers for your action mounting screws and got 1. that is as easy as not missing a meal.
what I did miss is how you came up with pillers for recoil lugs?
as for the rest, sounds like 3 ends to your cheese an wine.
pay to send it back. and get it back whenever they get it back to you
pay to fix it in your country. have it in a timely manner
live with it.

I don't know what the heck I was thinking... Now... This may be the most monumental fail on Savageshooters.com ever.... But these pillars... Any pillars... They tend to be threaded inserts, with equivalent screws... Correct? Or did I just dream-up a flaw in a flawless stock?  |

The only pillars i"ve ever seen in a stock are two empty "pipes"(for lack of a better word) that the bolts go through to tighten into the ation.

I've never seen a McMillan stock with cast in pillars. They claim you don't need 'um.

Okay, I'm an idiot. They're there. But wondering what purpose a pillar that only extends half-way into the stock may actually have as a bearing surface... Meh. I seem to have lost my camera at a critical time, as well.  Where's the face-palm icon when you need it? |

If it doesn't extend through the stock, it's not a pillar... it's an escutcheon. They are used to support the head of the screw and keep it from pulling through.

I'm starting to wonder if someone stole my camera at work, I could've sworn it was in my suitcase...
