Honestly, I think you way over thinking this thing, it is not that critical. Savage rifles are more forgiving in the bedding area than most rifles.

I have bedded many guns, including my Bats, and my long range Savage, they are all very competitive and shoot very well. I have beaten dozens of top notch shooters, and held with the best of guns built by the top gunsmiths in all the country. The way I bed a rifle must be working good enough. The way I bedded them all is I attached the pillars to the action, removed the trigger Assembly, and bolts, I then use shoe polish as a release agent, and locktight 10 min epoxy. I goop it up, drop the action in, and tape it up with electric tape, and let it sit a day or two. I then knock it loose and clean it up, and put it back together. Simple enough and it works trust me.
