Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Why no love for Browing bolt rifles?

Gotta admit that Made in Japan is a major turn-off to me. Not sure what it is but I am not opposed to many other things made in Japan or elsewhere. I mean Japan has put out some fine optics, motorcycles, cars, pickups etc. When I think rifle, I think hunting in the western mountains, 2nd Amendment, I think American, I think of generations past and those great rifles like your Mod 70 Super Grade. My granddad's generation did not favor things Japanese. I just don't want a hunting rifle made in Japan. Not nitpicking if some small part was sourced there or even a major component like the glass in a Leupy scope, that is not the deal. Is the tooling all made in the US - that's not it either. Howa - sounds Japanese. Bushnell? Nikon - surely. But Browning - Browning is a great American gun name and its a darn shame. Merry Christmas. OT
