Rifle pillar bedding

I am assuming that both top and bottom of pillars should be even with the top and bottom of stock, correct?

Attach them to the action with the screws, set the action in the stock then check they're lengths. The bottom of them should be flush with the bottom of the stock.

After you happy with their lengths, attach them to the action , apply whatever goop you using to glue them in with then set the action in the stock. Having them attached to the action will one, make sure they don't move until the glue cures and two, it will eliminate any screw-action -pillars alignment problems.

Years ago (1983) I picked up a used .243 M77 in a local pawn shop. When I removed the stock for a good cleaning session, I saw "Sept 1968" stamped into the barrel channel. All I did to that stock was free float the barrel and it shot lights out for me with my hand loads and would hold a 1" group out to 200 yards. I've owned a few more Rugers over the years and all those were dismal disappointments for accuracy. I sold all the Rugers I had and have never bought another. Give me a Savage any day!
