Any thing still made in America?
Cntrmass;
I believe that the Henry line is all made in the USA, at least they certainly advertise it as such.
The Savage rimfire line is made in Canada, so that's closer than some other offshore spots.
Depending upon the new shooter, some kids like the idea of getting an older firearm that's in good shape as it already has a certain panache.
Up here we still are able to find lots of Cooey, Winchester and Lakefield Arms rimfires in decent shape.
We somehow see less used Marlins in my part of the world, but some of them shoot quite well.
Anyway, good luck on your quest whichever way you decide and all the best to you in the upcoming week.
Regards,
Dwayne
