I don't think the idea of using washers next to wood is such a good one. With pressure, the wood will compress because it is not very hard - not good. Best is to look at doing metal pillars - I did mine out of pieces of lamp rod and there is metal to metal contact from the action bolt head right up to the barrel. One rifle had a very hard plastic block around the recoil so I ended up using two pieces of lamp rod - one on each side of the block & not likely the plastic will break or compress. It needs the stock to be drilled out and at first this was intimidating - didn't want to screw up a stock. If you are not changing stocks, this shouldn't be a problem. I was changing stocks so more challenging was to get the pillars sized so that everything fit and the rifle functioned 100%. Check other threads for pillar bedding.
