Pillar stock ?

[RP12]

Yup it's pillar bedded.

Since the later Stevens 200's have pillars, it's not to surprising that a Savage stock has them. "But", they don't always come all the way up through the stock and touch the bottom of the action. Hope yours do! Good Luck......Jim

I noticed that, too. Defeats the whole purpose.

I had a couple like that along the way. I knocked them out of the stock with a drift punch, and used a "Fosner" bit the same size as the bottom of the pillar, and drilled in far enough for them to reach the bottom of the action, then epoxied them in. Now their existence is justified.

Good Luck-Good Shooting......Jim

Yes, they are flush with the inletting.
