I'm sure it helps, but the "lamp rod" tubes are more what I would call bushings than pillars. They may help keep the action-bolts from collapsing the stock; but they aren't large enough to support the action. You can countersink the bolt holes from the action down to almost the surface at the bolt heads and then use mold release wax on the bolts with the smaller "pillars" in place and the epoxy will form it's own pillars in the stock. PS - Use Brownells Acraglas (or similar) for bedding epoxy and not a "soft" epoxy.





There's a good video on the Brownell's site as well.
