Just bought a McMillan stock for a Tikka T3x, but it came without pillars from factory..

Would you recommend getting a gunsmith to install pillars?
Or just bed it without pillars?
 
I would drop it in torque it to 30-rear 35-front then go shoot see how it does. I have the same setup, check carefuly around the screw holes, mine has pilars but at first glance they are not always noticeable hiden under paint.

Proper pillar bedding is never a bad idea.
