tink,

thanks for recommending the search function... I did a search and found that YES I can do both at the same time but I am unclear on some things still.

1) are the above pillars the best pillars for bedding the savage action? If I am going to do it I want it done with the right components.

2) I know u use tape around the barrel to and tang to some what float the action (with the pillars attached) but how do you know if you have the action level in the stock? I would think this to be VERY important.

3) No one says how much wood you need to remove when doing both pillar and glass bedding at the same time. Many times people say to remove some wood when the pillars are already in place but I haven't found this answer
