I have had stocks where the pillars did not touch the action when the action was touching the wood. Initially, I fixed this by shaping a 1/4" brass washer over a 1" socket for the front pillar and cutting the back out of another washer for the rear pillar, and epoxied them in. Also, you want that "L" clip below the top of the rear pillar. Then I glass bedded the action. Eventually, I removed the original pillars and did a proper job. Also, as mentioned above, check the scope and mounts. Good Luck-Good Shooting........Jim
