Barrel block action movement

Is it normal to have a small amount of movement side to side of a action which is held in place by a barrel block ?
The action moves a small amount when i put sideways pressure on it.
The action and barrel are free floating
any replys appreciated

Where is the movement of the action taking place? Is it at the action/barrel junction, or, the barrel/barrel block junction, or, at the barrel block/stock junction? Knowing this would help get to the bottom of your concern.

I have a 4 " barrel block 10mm in front of the action with 10 bolts torques to 70 inch pounds each.After I torqued the block up I can make the rear of the action move a tiny amount when I put side pressure on it.I am only guessing ,but the place that i think the movement is coming from is the barrel junction block.I might be wrong regarding this.
The barrel block has two sleeves inside it and is glued into the stock with two 3/4" pillars .

What shape is the fit between the barrel and the barrel block? Is it a vee or round where the block meets the barrel? If there is movement between the barrel and the block you may have to bed the joint between them.

Use release agent on the barrel then bed with something like MarineTex, J-B Industro Weld or such. There may be a high point in the cutout in the block where the barrel clamps that is letting the barrel pivot even after it is clamped.
 
The action is moving compared to what? Everything flexes to some degree. Since it's in the stock I'm assuming your grasping the stock to help put pressure on the tang. More than likely the stock is flexing. What does the target tell you?

Thanks Dave for the reply and help
You maybe correct, I am grasping the stock to put pressure on the tang area, I just thought that there should be no movement at all hopefully I am wrong,thus the question.
first time out with a set-up like this
Range test tomorrow

Jerry thanks for the reply
it is a round shape that fits between the barrel and block.I will keep the glue in option in mind.I am range testing it tomorrow.I will see how it goes
Thanks again
