There have been numerous importers of BSA rifles over the years. If the rifles in queston are marked Herters Mod: U9 , They have been imported by Herters.

Ithaca imported the model CF-2 in the middle to late 70's but only in 7mm Rem Mag and .300 Win Mag.

Eagle Arms apparently imported them at some point. There is a used one at a local gun shop in 7mm Mag.

According to the Blue Book of Gun Values, at one time they were imported by BSA of Grand Prarie, Tx.

And Samco Global Arms imported them until 1989.

I believe that about then BSA ceased manufacturing centerfire rifles. Last I know, they were being manufactured by a firm in Turkey, with no US importer.

Biggest problem with them, IMO is a crappy trigger. My gunsmith couldn't seem to do much with it. I owned one at one time .284 Win, and also a .30-06 and a .222 Rem Mag.

Hope the above is of some help to you...
