 NO but why would it matter. Just about all stock MFG's inlet for the Howa/Vanguard action. I replaced the craptastic stock on my Howa in 6.5x55 with a Bell&Carlson carbelite, This stock now resides on my latest Weatherby vanguard in 300wby

Bell and Carlson have several stocks that are made for the howa.  Check out their catalog on  www.bellandcarlson.com.  The problem is, finding a dealer that can get one to you in a timley manner.

Dealers don't normally stock them. They are drop shipped from the factory and they state a 4-8 week delivery. I bought the Medalist for my 7mmMag. It was a drop in fit. The aluminum bedding is supper and it shrunk my groups from just under an inch to 1/2.

Hey guys, I have replaced my Howa stock with a Boyds Thumbhole stock, I love it, it fits and feels so natural in my hand. It is also better to hold steady. You can find them on E-bay for a pretty good price. Bob, boprpsa

I have a .308 heavy bbl. that I mounted in a Hogue aluminum bedded stock.  First shots with my handloads averaged .611.  I just lightened the trigger pull and with work fully expect to do better.  I have an unfinished Boyds' laminated "Varminter" stock that I am going to bed, pillar, finish and mount when I get time to do it.  Don.
