Yes, I have a 110 built in 1989 that has integral bases. They are on there permanently. They may be silver soldered, but some, I was told, were machined.

If you can't find a scope that is long enough to work with them you might want to sell and buy an action without integral scope mounts.

Sorry, for I know that is not what you wanted to hear.
