Bedding a savage target action with 2 screws or 3 screws

[D-mon]

Hi ,
I am about to bed a savage target action into a McMillan edge stock.
It is going to look very close to this one:

Now I hesitate to do my pillar bedding with just 2 screws or using the third middle screw as well.
What would recommend, knowing that I will probably never screw barrels longer than 24" and of HV benchrest profil?

I looking forward to hear your advices.
Thanks.
Nic

If you do the bedding job right I don't think you would be able to see a difference. I did some experimenting with a 3 screw action, Bedded it with 2, then went back and added the 3rd pillar and re-bedded. No difference on target. I dont like the short screw spacing of the Savage myself and would probably use the middle screw for the hell of it.
