Pillar bed a Stocky’s stock?

I saw a good holiday deal on Stocky’s stocks and decided to order a couple carbon VG stocks, both for R700 clones. I talked to Stocky’s and asked if I needed to pillar bed the stock/action connection and they claim, no, the Accublock sufficiently holds the rifle without glass bedding and/or adding pillars. I know I can mount up the actions and bottom metals without any bedding and/or pillars and see how it shoots first, but I thought I’d see what others are doing with their Stocky’s.

TIA
 
I didn't find it necessary to bed my stocky's VG CF stock on my last Howa build. It shot 0.25" or less for three shots so I never had a reason to futz with it.

This is great news. I’m hoping I have the same luck and can avoid some work!
 
Unless you are really, really loading your bipod, or you have a standing height bipod (aka a long lever arm) putting pressure on the stock I found it was perfectly stiff enough to work for me without dremeling out the barrel channel or bedding it.
Post pics when you get them put together.
