No, You don't "have" to pillar bed a good laminate. Pillar bedding started with traditional wood stocks crushing when the action screws were tightened. Pillars "can" also contribute to accuracy.

The Boyd's stock will have a plastic insert in the front action screw hole. Purist don't like that, but the stocks can shoot very well as is. I suggest You try the stock as delivered and see if it suits Your requirements.

If You pillar the rear action screw, and have to drill the hole bigger, the way it is done properly, is to put a bit in the drill press the same size as the existing hole, tape the stock for protection, and clamp the stock on the dp table so the bit is lineup in the hole. Then install the next size larger bit, drill, and repeat until the desired size hole is reached. This will minimize damage to the stock in that area. The Epoxy will take care of the rest.
