There was a recent thread on here referencing Savage pillar bedding and excessive movement after bedding. For whatever reason, the thread seems to have vanished...maybe deleted by the original poster??? We had a discussion about my approach to it but then it vanished into the vortex of the interweb.
Anyway, here's an approach I've used for a while to get good results. The pillar isn't notched to clear the sear. Instead, the sear is notched to clear the pillar. To stabilize the pillar, I make an aluminum strut that surrounds the lower pillar. That gets epoxied into the stock and to the pillar after the initial epoxying of the pillar and prior to the bedding. It really stabilizes the rear pillar. On this stock, I prebedded it prior to this step and before doing the final bedding.
Hopefully the O.P. will chime in.
For what it's worth.....
