There seems to still be confusion over where recent Model 70's are made, partly because of U.S. laws, which don't always reflect where parts are made, just where they're assembled.

The most recent I own is a .300 WSM purchased 10 months ago. The box says, "Made in Portugal, by Browning Viana," but the action and barrel are both plainly marked "Made in U.S.A." My O'Connor Commemorative's action and barrel are also marked "Made in U.S.A.", as is the box.
