I bedded a 700 swift into a full aluminum bed HS. I used bed heads from Ernie the gunsmith to eliminate as much action stress as possible. I put a magnetic base dial indicator on the barrel and put the indicator on the bottom of the forearm. Shims come in various thicknesses and you shim until you are just above the bed .005" or so and there is the least amount of indicator travel when the front action screw is snugged and loosened. I think the same could be done with pillars.
