Thanks for posting that pic Cherza. You have a difficult job in front of you. I still think you should bed the rear first. Initially, there is no need for a pillar. Remove the magazine and trigger box and bed in epoxy, the flat rectangular area of stock behind the mag cutout and half way up the sides of the action. Use Blu-Tak in front and behind the epoxy to stop it spreading. There should be a de-headed 50mm bolt screwed in to the action. Coat metal with release agent. Maybe wind leccy tape round the bolt. Clamp the barrel at around the fore sight in a padded vice, right way up. Install the stock from underneath. Use the long bolt as a guide. Install the front bolt loosely. Remove the rear guide bolt and install the take down bolt coated with release agent. Tighten each bolt say one turn at a time until the action and barrel are drawn down into the stock at their mid points. When you've got that done, we'll do a bit more.
