PETE'S PILLARS SAVAGE AXIS COMPETITION PILLAR BEDDING | MADE IN USA
A Better Pillar Bedding Job Foundation Starts Here.
Starting with billet aluminum, we machine our Savage Axis Competition Pillar Kit with Epoxy right here in the USA. You get the profiled pillars and premium bedding epoxy, a strong foundation for a solid, consistent connection between your action and stock.
One of the most important details in a rifle stock is also one of the easiest to overlook: the support around the action screws. A properly fitted pillar gives the action a rigid place to sit, helps keep the stock from compressing, and helps the rifle go back together the same way every time it's serviced. Use it for: Savage Axis rifles in factory or aftermarket stocks that need custom pillar bedding, from budget hunting rifles to dedicated precision builds.
Built to Be Part of the Stock.
Each pillar is CNC-machined in the USA from solid aluminum and profiled for the Savage Axis. The profiling grips the bedding epoxy once it cures, so the pillar becomes part of the stock instead of just sitting in it. The pillars are supplied for final fitting, so you can size them to your own stock. This is a purpose-made bedding part, not a generic aluminum spacer.
The included premium bedding epoxy covers the rest of the materials, and the specific brand may vary. The result is a practical kit for shooters and gunsmiths who like to choose the finishing hardware for the exact rifle they're working on.
Complete Your Bedding Project.
The pillars and epoxy are the foundation. Helper hardware is a separate choice and the right companion for this project. Sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Compatibility, included materials, helper hardware and choosing your Savage Axis bedding components.
What does pillar bedding do for a Savage Axis?
Properly fitted pillars create a rigid interface around the action screw mounting points, helping reduce compression of the stock material and support consistent action seating. Bedding does not guarantee a particular accuracy improvement.
What comes in this kit with epoxy?
The kit includes Pete's Pillars profiled Savage Axis aluminum pillars and premium bedding epoxy. Epoxy brand may vary. The pillars are supplied for final fitting, and helper hardware is your choice, sold separately.
Which helper hardware do I need?
Our 1/4-28 Bedding Helper Hardware Kit is the companion for confirmed 1/4-28 actions, including Savage Axis. Confirm your exact model and generation before ordering, because 1/4-28 is not 1/4-20, M6 × 1.0 or M5 × 0.8. It is for the bedding process and is not a replacement for your final action screws.
Will it fit my Savage Axis stock?
These pillars are made for the Savage Axis action. Our parts fit most Savage Axis rifles. We machine to very tight tolerances, so every now and then a production rifle with factory tolerance stack-up falls a little outside that range, and a stock may need individual fitting. Questions? Contact us.
Are installation instructions included?
No. Printed installation instructions are not included. With basic tools, patience and thorough preparation, pillar bedding is a project many rifle owners can tackle themselves. Numerous online writeups and YouTube videos walk through the general process and are useful references before you start. Each stock may need individual fitting.
Do I need pillars if I buy a chassis?
Generally no. Most modern aluminum chassis, including MDT Oryx, Field Stock and LSS Gen2 designs, have their own engineered action support and do not need a conventional pillar bedding job. If you would rather skip the bedding project, see the Savage Axis chassis above.
Does Pete's Pillars sell more than pillars?
Yes. We carry centerfire chassis from MDT, XLR and Grey Birch, Lilja and L3i barrels, optics and mounts, reloading gear like the Area 419 ZERO press, and Ruger 10/22 and Mark IV upgrades from Volquartsen and KIDD.
Small Change. Big Impact. Pete's Pillars.
