madcratebuilder, I agree. Wood stocks, even those with a bit of expoxy around stock screws as "synthetic" pillars, compress more that steel or aluminum pillars. I've known a few top competitors with aluminum pillar bedded receivers just tighten stock screws until they "feel snug" and win matches so set up.

But I've never used pillars; don't believe in nor have needed them for best accuracy. The most accurate centerfire rifles I know of with wood or synthetic stocks on conventional receivers are conventionally epoxy bedded.
