Can anyone tell me for sure whether or not all Howa's (Mod 1500 S/A) are drilled and tapped for rings/bases at the factory ?
Or, are there some that are not.

Be aware,, if your in the market for a pic rail.
I purchased one, and the package labelling says, "Leupold BackCountry Cross Slot 1 pce base."
"Remington 700 Short Action" (equivalent to Howas)
I bought it for one of my Howas,,,, Namely a Howa 1500 Short action VT in .308
And guess what,,,,,,,, it doesn't fit.
The overall length between the hole centers is nearly 6 mm too short.
Apparently the Weatherby rail is the one that fits, and the gun shop that I bought it from is going to swap it for me..
