Actually, no.

Barrels are still struck in the old fashion. The rough contour is achieved by lathe or hammer forging, but the finished contour is struck in the same manner as before.

Now whether the ultra-modern guns such as Blaser, etc. do any hand striking, I don't know. There's no doubt that such firms as Piotti make their barrels in the old tradition.
