PETE’S PILLARS | REMINGTON 700 | COMPETITION BEDDING
Keep Your Stock. Build a Better Foundation.
A stock that shoulders well and feels right is worth keeping. The Pete’s Pillars Remington 700 Competition Pillar Kit with Epoxy (PPEF-700D) helps you give it a stronger foundation with USA-machined aluminum pillars and bedding epoxy together in one kit. Less time gathering parts. More attention on the stock you want to keep shooting.
A good bedding job starts where the action meets the stock. Stock material around the action screws can compress under clamping pressure, especially after years of use and repeated disassembly. Properly fitted aluminum pillars provide a solid support path through those mounting points, helping establish a consistent action-to-stock interface. It is a small component with an important job: supporting the foundation of a rifle you already enjoy.
Made to Save You Time at the Bench
Rather than starting with plain aluminum tubing, you get Competition-profile pillars CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum in the USA. Their 1/2-inch outside diameter offers a substantial bedding surface, while exterior grooves give the compound a place to grip. The important shaping is already done; you can focus on getting the fit right for your stock.
Each pillar is supplied at approximately 1.5 inches long so it can be trimmed to suit the stock. That flexibility matters because a Remington 700 in an ADL-style stock, a BDL floorplate stock, or one fitted with aftermarket bottom metal can call for a different finished pillar length. You get the convenience of a prepared Competition pillar without pretending every stock is identical.
The Pillars and Epoxy, Together
This kit brings the Competition pillar set and premium bedding epoxy together so you are not chasing down the two main bedding components separately. The epoxy brand may vary, but the purpose does not: a straightforward way to get started with a solid foundation for your Remington 700 stock. For a larger bedding project beyond the pillar locations, additional compound is available separately.

Our 1/4-28 Bedding Helper Hardware Kit makes the fitting and alignment side of the job easier to manage. Add extra epoxy if you are planning to bed more than the pillar locations.

Bed Your Existing Stock or Choose a Chassis
Bedding the stock you already own makes sense when its fit, balance and handling are what you want. If you're changing the rifle's setup more substantially, a Remington 700 short-action chassis may be the cleaner route. These give you a look at what is possible without taking on a traditional stock bedding project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does PPEF-700D include bedding epoxy?
Yes. PPEF-700D is the epoxy-inclusive Competition kit. It supplies the Remington 700 bedding pillars and premium bedding epoxy. The epoxy manufacturer may vary with supply; a particular brand is not guaranteed.
What size are the Remington 700 Competition pillars?
Pete’s Pillars Competition pillars have a nominal 1/2-inch outside diameter and are supplied at approximately 1.5 inches long for final fitting. They are designed for compatible action screws up to 1/4 inch in diameter. Check the stock and screw arrangement before fitting.
Are these pillars contoured to the action?
No. The pillar bearing faces are intentionally square and flat. Properly fitted bedding epoxy creates the custom mating interface to the individual action, while the outer body is profiled to mechanically engage the bedding compound.
Will the kit work with a Remington 700 ADL or BDL stock?
The kit is intended for Remington 700 stock bedding projects, including appropriate ADL- and BDL-style arrangements. Stock inletting, floorplate or bottom-metal geometry, screw lengths and previous modifications vary, so final suitability must be confirmed on the actual rifle and stock. These are fitting components, not universal drop-in inserts.
Are action screws and installation tools included?
No. The epoxy-inclusive kit contains the profiled pillar set and premium bedding epoxy. Action screws, alignment tools and other installation hardware are separate. Choose screw length and hardware for the specific stock and bottom-metal setup.
What thread are standard Remington 700 action screws?
Standard Remington 700 action screws use 1/4-28 UNF threads. Our 1/4-28 Bedding Helper Hardware Kit is made for fitting and alignment work on these bedding projects.
Do I need these pillars if I move to an MDT or KRG chassis?
Typically not. Many modern chassis use their own integrated action-support interface rather than a traditional wood or synthetic stock bedding job. The Remington 700 Competition Pillar Kit is for bedding a suitable stock; check chassis-manufacturer instructions before making modifications.
Will installing pillars improve my rifle’s accuracy?
Correctly fitted pillars can help establish a stable action-to-stock interface and resist stock compression around the mounting screws. The practical result depends on the stock, action, bedding work and the rest of the rifle system. The aim is a consistent mechanical foundation rather than a promised group size.
Are printed installation instructions included?
Printed directions are not included. Pillar bedding is a fit-to-stock project and methods vary with the stock and action. Start with the pillar bedding overview, review the pillar bedding FAQs, and use a qualified gunsmith if you are uncertain about the work.
