A properly bedded rifle is a good thing. I bed all mine, whether or not it has a bedding block. I've seen enough that weren't straight so there is no discussion at my place about what to do.
Interestingly I bedded a Remington 5R for a young man recently. The rifle was new and never fired. When I unscrewed the front guard screw and it was farmer tight, the barreled action "sprung" out of the stock. The tang was too low so the receiver area and 2" in front of the lug were bedded as well as the tang. No movement after that, waiting to hear how it shoots.
