I was just at the gun shop looking at Weatherbys. They had a sign up that said "Weatherbys are now made in the US". I think the sign is a few years old. I had forgotten about Weatherby, guess I can add them to the list.

Salute you back, but like I said, it's a two way street. American gun makers, workers, and unions gotta help me in return by beingcompetitive and quality.

This is the key.

I like tobuy American but will not over-spend or buy junk.
My Win '94 is well worth what it cost as ismy Henry .22.
Sounds like Winchesters imminent demise is a matter
of market share more than anything. Ruger, Savage, Remington,
Henry will always get a look and more than a fair chance if they
have what I want. It's called capitalism. We love the theory.
The hard facts are a little tougher to deal with.

God bless and good shopping

Thompson Center says New Haven Ct. So I guess they are made in the mighty U.S.

I have to agree with the USA buying sentiments. I will seek out the American made products but the quality and value better be inline with the price. Between Savage and Rem I dont really even look at the other lines of rifles now when I am shopping. Not downing the others but thats just what I like. I have to say I love looking down and seeing Ilion, NY on my guns

Thanks. Forgot them, too. One more for the list.

How about Cooper of Montana. They are sort of half way in between custom and production. Many cost less than Sako's.

Since they are in my home state, I would love to get one. Only they don't have a caliber I know, which equates to not having one I like.

But, good point - great to have a local US mfr doing well, with decent prices!

Cooper makes a ton of guns in familiar calibers... Although I do agree with you that they make a ton of "weird" wildcats... Ussually for benchrest, target, etc.

They make guns in .25-06, .223, .22-250, etc. They don't make any bigger than .25-06 though... Also the one I was interested in (the varminter) was only available in single shot... Great gun though.
