That's also been my experience: If the bedding block is straight and square.

Recently dropped the barreled action of my Remington 700 .204 into a Stocky's bedding-block stock. The rifle was already very accurate in an epoxy-bedded factory stock, but shot noticeably better after simply bolting it into the new stock.
