Well, for a point by point synopsis, I think you have the outline, but I cannot tell if you really have all the details there.
The exact length of the pillars varies. For the front pillar, all that matters is that the pillar is long enough so that the front action screw is not too long. If the screw is too long, it will bind up the front lug and you cannot cycle the action.
For the rear pillar, you have to size it to fit, so that the trigger gard sits in the stock properly.
Seems like you have those concepts, based on your outline......
What is less clear from your synopsis is whether you are going to pillar bed the whole stock at once, or first place the pillars, and then complete the rest of the bedding (recoil lug being the major point to be cared about.).
I bought a kit to pillar bed my gun. It had the rear pillar notched to clear the trigger. I read more -- some folks experience splitting of the stock when drilling out the rear hole to accept a large pllar.
Some folks mention lamp rod. I had some laying around. They are correct about it being the correct inside diameter fot the action scews, and comes with threads on the outside for a good glue fit.
I ground a little away from the bolt release on the trigger assembly so that I could use a fll 360 round piece of lamp rod. It worked well...
