True, but a barrel block also produces no worse accuracy than traditional epoxy bedding, and is easier to do if you have a machine shop to build the block.

The biggest advantage of a barrel block is that you can get away with using heavier barrels than the receiver was ever designed to support, because the receiver only has to support its own mass as the barrel is supported by the block. You see this fairly frequently with Ruger 10/22s that have been tricked out with a large bull barrel and unlimited class benchresters.
