My first build

[BamaBoy9]

I have been watching some videos on turning a stock rifle into a tac driver thru bedding and trigger upgrades . However the factory stock had aluminum bedding block or pillars in it . But it's definitely a option I'm considering, thank you

Pillars can be installed. If you have a wood or laminate stock a gunsmith can fix u up or it can be diy project

I have checked my stock no pillars or blocks , so I will be attempting to pillar and bed my rifle .

 

[Canhunter35]

Is it wood or laminate?

If it is a factory tupperware stock other than practice it isn't worth the time and effort. A walnut stock will benefit from pillars though.

Laminate wood

Laminate wood

Excellent candidate to pillar and bed. They have excellent rigidity in the forend with all weather capability. Add in the warth of wood in your hands without that "tink sound when you brush up on a branch.

Laminate wood

Worth installing pillars, laminate is extremely stable and provides an excellent platform

Is that a Howa 1500 barreled action? Please Bergara, Tikka barreled actions from you two would blow out of the water.

I did this build on an extreme budget, components in Australia are pretty expensive in comparison. A second hand / donor tikka t3 is still up around the $800AUD mark, whereas I got this 1500 barreled action for about $500 brand new. It's only a .243 for target.
My next build will be a much better quality rig in a .30 or .338

However, my cheap little Howa rings steel at 1000yrd no worries, so it suits me for learning the LR trade.

If you rebarrel that to a 7.5 twist 243 the 110 serria and various 105grn+ bullets will shoot very well out to substantial distances. Seeing splash with the 6mm's is tough if not in a dust enviroment though compared to 30 n up bullets
