So I have 3 Axis' in various Boyd's stocks. I got all spunky one weekend and lightly bedded all the actions with JB Weld. They all fit in nice and snug and 2 of the 3 are easily sub MOA shooters. But the .308 was just not quite there. So I noticed that crappy plastic front pillar that Boyd gives you was all smashed and starting to crack, so I took the plunge and ordered some V3 Tactical metal hardware. Seems a tad $$$, but very nice stuff.

So my question...since I already bedded the action first, is there really a need to glue the pillar hardware in, other than to keep it from falling out when I pull the screws? I ground down the parts till they just start to touch as the screws are torqued down I must say that metal on metal contact really does give it a nice solid feel.
