Removing the barrel on a hooked breech rifle for cleaning, yes or no??

Some British long range match rifles (such as the pictured Gibbs-Metford) were provided in fitted carrying cases where the stock and barrel were separated. These were match rifles and being fired at 1000 yards. I don’t think this would have been done if there was a concern about separating the two affecting accuracy. I’ll happily remove the barrel from mine and clean between a morning and afternoon shoot on the same day and not find any discernible difference in zero.
