Just A Hunter.........Now sir, this is exactly why we don't have any damn jobs in this country today. I for one will never Own a rifle made in JAPAN.
Now until people in the USA "wake up" and buy American only or just go without until a US company does make the product we as a nation will continue our plight downward as the nation we used to be back in the 1960's.
This is also why I owned Marlin's instead understand. My father and uncle would turn over in their grave if I ever purchased a rifle, pistol etc made in JAPAN.
