Best Accuracy - Glass or Pillar Bedding?

Is there any generally accepted truth about whether conventional glass bedding or pillar bedding delivers superior accuracy? I have a Howa barreled action for which I need a stock with the objective of shooting small groups.

Thanks.

YES.

Every rifle should be receiver bedded with pillars...as long as it's done properly, it can only help with consistency.

Glass/epoxy bedding and pillar bedding aren't mutually exclusive. Do both. Install pillars, and epoxy bed.
