PETE'S PILLARS SAVAGE RIMFIRE COMPETITION PILLAR KIT | PPEF-S93B
Stop the Action Moving in the Stock.
CNC-machined aluminum bedding pillars for Savage rimfire actions, cut here in Michigan. Pillars carry the action screw load on metal instead of wood or polymer, so your torque stays where you set it and the action sits the same way every time you take the rifle apart. Supplied for final fitting and installation.
Bedding is the cheapest accuracy work there is, and on a rimfire it's often the only thing left. Tighten an action screw into bare wood or a hollow polymer stock and the material compresses a little every time. Torque drifts, the action shifts, and the zero wanders for reasons that look like ammunition or a barrel problem. A pillar is a machined aluminum sleeve bedded into the stock so the screw clamps against metal. Nothing crushes, nothing creeps. Use it for: Savage rimfire match and trainer builds, NRL22 rifles, squirrel guns that shoot better than they should, and any 93-series rifle you're putting real work into.
Competition or SlimLine?
We machine two profiles for the Savage rimfire. The Competition pillar, this one, is the larger-diameter version with more bearing surface for the action screw and more material to bed against — the one to use when the stock has room for it. Our SlimLine is the narrower profile for tighter inlets and thinner stock walls where a competition pillar won't clear. If you aren't sure which your stock takes, send us a photo of the inlet and we'll tell you.
You'll Also Need Bedding Compound.
This kit is pillars only. To install them you need a bedding compound, and the simplest route is the Savage Rimfire Competition Kit with Epoxy, which is this same pillar kit supplied with the epoxy to set it. If you already have compound on the bench, buy this kit as it comes. If you'd rather pick the epoxy separately, we stock Devcon pillar and bedding compound, which is what we reach for.
Don't Forget the Helper Hardware.
Bedding helper hardware is the part people skip and then regret. It holds the pillars in position and on-axis while the epoxy cures, so the pillars end up square to the action rather than cocked a degree or two off, and it keeps compound out of the threads. Our Bedding Helper Hardware Kit is sold separately and is matched by the action screw thread, not by rifle model. Check your action screws before you order, and if you aren't certain, send us your model and we'll confirm the thread for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fit, what's included, installation and what else you need on the bench.
Will it fit my rifle?
Our pillars fit most Savage rimfire 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. Pillars are supplied for final fitting, which means a little material removal is part of a normal install. If your stock is unusual or aftermarket, send us a photo of the inlet first.
Is epoxy included?
No. This is the pillars-only kit. The Savage Rimfire Competition Kit with Epoxy is the same pillars supplied with bedding compound, and it's the easier buy if you're starting from nothing. You can also pick up Devcon compound on its own.
Do I need the Bedding Helper Hardware Kit?
You don't strictly need it, but it's what keeps the pillars square and on-axis while the epoxy sets, and it keeps compound out of the threads. It's sold separately and thread-specific, so match it to your action screws — see the Bedding Helper Hardware Kit. Not sure which thread your rifle uses? Ask us and we'll confirm it.
Are printed instructions included?
No, printed installation instructions are not included. Pillar bedding is well documented — there are good written guides and plenty of video walkthroughs online covering exactly this job. What actually matters is having the right tools, preparing the inlet thoroughly, and taking your time. Rushed prep is where bedding jobs go wrong, not the pillars.
Competition or SlimLine for my stock?
The Competition profile is larger in diameter, with more bearing surface and more material to bed against. Use it when the inlet has room. The SlimLine is the narrower pillar for tight inlets and thin stock walls. When in doubt, measure your inlet or send us a photo.
What does pillar bedding actually gain me?
Consistency, mainly. The action screws clamp against aluminum instead of compressing wood or polymer, so torque holds, the action returns to the same place after you pull it from the stock, and your zero stops drifting for no visible reason. It's the foundation the rest of the rifle sits on.
Does Pete's Pillars make more than pillars?
Yes. Pillars are where we started, and we also machine CZ 455 and 457 match barrels, firing pins, extractors, cocking indicators, magazine releases, bolt knobs and scope rails here in Michigan, plus 10/22 buffers and M-LOK weights. We run custom Cerakote in house, and we carry chassis from MDT, XLR and Grey Birch, optics, bipods and reloading gear like the Area 419 ZERO press.
Small Change. Big Impact. Pete's Pillars.
