I suppose I am lucky enough to live in New Zealand which is an outdoors paradise. Living where we do we get to see what the world produces and can make comparisons with out the demon of patiotism sticking its ugly head in. We have come to the conclusion that the European produced fire arms are of a better quality (over all) than US produced ones. Top of the heap is Blaser and like rifles ( stunningly expensive here) , but Sako/Tikka is what most of us would love to own. Anshutz is excellent and the CZ/BRNO family of rifles is held in very high regard. Whilst I own a Remington Mt Rifle in .25-06 for its light weight I would dearly love a Sako or Tikka .25-06 for general hunting. Whilst the US produced firearms are very good the Europeans are better. I hope I haven't ruffled to many of your feathers, and I am sorry if I have, but it just the way it is.
