It may help, but probably will not hurt FWIW. If the aluminum block fits well you will probably not see much improvement though. Most of the good chasis stocks work very well in my experience.
Unless it shoots lights out, I would go ahead and bed the action if it were mine FWIW.

Does it shoot bad? the outlet in bedding block is not that loose in tolerance i guess.

Nope. Mind you, glass bedding is more about consistency that accuracy.
Anyway, block bedding is about the entire receiver being separated from the stock. Glass bedding is about the exact opposite. The stock and receiver become more of one piece with glass bedding.
If your Long Range isn't shooting as well as you think it should start with the tightness of screws, the trigger adjustment, the sights and the ammo, first. Then try putting in a pressure point just aft of the end of the forestock. (Not all rifles like a free floated barrel.) I'd be thinking just in front of the forward swivel. Use a match book thick bit of cardboard first. Then a wee bit of regular epoxy bedding material. But do all the other stuff first.

I have access to a very competent Machinist who can seemingly fix/repair/build/modify....anything. Among his talents, he's a very good when it comes to bedding a rifle stock.
He does do a light, skim bed on rifles such as yours in a chassis. He claims it doesn't hurt, but any help is miniscule. That said....IF You can do it yourself or get it done without breaking the bank...it shouldn't hurt.
Over the years in conventional stocks...I have had almost universally better accuracy and consistent POI after bedding a wood or the early glass stocks before the chassis inserts.
