I've never seen rem with the bedding block loose, so it could move, but I've also never seen one that had perfect aluminum block to rifle bedding either. IF you don't have this perfect fit, the rifle will move under recoil. This is evidenced my wear marks where the receiver is making contact with the bedding block. Yes, a "paint coat" of bedding material might fix this, but I usually hog out a little of the aluminum, and fill in with bedding material. I like this better than pillars.
