I'm in the process of bedding a couple new stocks-actually my 4th and 5th Savage beddings. One thing that always bothers me is that milled off notch on the rear pillar to clear the sear linkage. It seems like a weak spot in the bedding system and it appears that the small amount of material that would have to be removed from the sear linkage to clear a full pillar would not be detrimental.

What am I missing here?

I've tried to consider manufacturing costs and that doesn't fly either-the lingage is obviously stamped, so one change on the die would provide the notch on all the rest of the pieces, but each of the pillars have to have a separate setup and cut.
