Bill Poole Report post Posted August 13, 2011 Remington M700 is made in USA, as is Kimber, Winchester M70, Ruger 77 & #1 high end weatherby, Marlin, and Savage centerfires. Browning A-Bolt and X-bolt are made in Japan, as is Howa, low end weatherby. Tikka & Sako are from Finland. CZ rifles and pistol from Czech Browning BAR is Belgium or portugal If buying American made is part of your decision. I have a Winch Model 70 in .25-06. But the proper name is .25-06 Remington, so maybe buy your first in a M700 I often buy guns for their appearance too, so if you really like the looks of the X-bolt, buy one, I may some day get one for that very reason too...

nogalesjim Report post Posted October 20, 2011 This may be just a personal preference, but if I am buying a Winchester rifle, I want it to be in a Winchester caliber e.g. 270 Win., 300 Win Mag., 243 Win., and so on. If I am going to buy a 25-06 Rem., 280, 7-08 or 260 Rem. caliber, I would look to go with one of the perfectly fine Remington rifles. But, if you go with Ruger, Browning, Savage or Kimber, or if your caliber of choice ends in H&H, the world is your oyster. Call me strange Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nogalesjim Report post Posted October 20, 2011 I use an A-Bolt in Jack O'Connor's favorite caliber as well. It gets the job done just fine. But, I would prefer a pre 64 model 70 featherweight in the same caliber. Maybe with a 4x Kollmorgan Cub. What type of optic do you have on your A-Bolt?
