It has been my experience as well that the FN guns I've owned had better QC. I really believe if FN had kept the original trigger, as they should have, the NH Classics would currently be selling poorly on the used market. I apologize for bringing up the trigger differences as this may quickly turn into a MOA trigger (which I think is a really good enclosed trigger with a spring change) bashing thread, but I did so to make a point about the rest of the rifle platform.

I would like to defend "Made in America" products, but unless it's a small company or custom job, with any mass-produced, inexpensive manufactured item you buy will be made from anywhere but here in the states, even if the idea was originally conceived here. Until we as Americans realize it is our choices that have put us in this situation and are willing to rectify it with a vote and purchasing power nothing is going to change.
