Also, this Portugal production thing is not something new for FN. They've been producing there for quite a while. The very best shotguns I own (3 A-5s), the best semi-auto (BAR)30-06, and a beautiful heirloom BBR are all FN made and for the time being anyway, I'm going to defer to their judgment as to what manufacturing model will give them, and hopefully us, the best bang for the buck. But then I could just be na�ve:)
