Bergaras are made in Spain
Howas and Weatherbies are Japanese
Tikkas, Sako’s etc Finnish
Brownings are Belgium, Portugal or Japan.
Pretty much the only US rifles that we see in the UK will be Remington 700s, Rugers and the odd Kimber, Cooper or Dakota.
Only Scopes of any note that are US made are Leupolds. Most of the other US brands are from the Far East.

I Was going to say bourneville.
I don’t know why my brothers only rifle is a Bergara swede and it’s killed loads of stuff and still does.
But it did spring to mind!

Weatherby Mk V are now being made in Weatherby's new factory in Sheridan Wyoming according to Weatherby.
Has Donald included that in his “ Trillions “ of dollars of work returning to the USA
Vanguards are still made in Japan, mark 5 and model 307 are made in Wyoming.
Not all weatherbys are. The vanguards are. The mk5s and 307 are Sheridan, US

To be fair, the first line of post #2 provided the answer.
Not sure why you have an issue with the thread going off topic following that?

I’ve seen quite a few early on and formed an opinion professionally on their quality control and reliability.
That was many years ago and I have said since then I would never work on one
As a favour to a regular client I have agreed as a one off to Rebarrel a magnum actioned example of these “firearm's”
This has lost accuracy after only a few hundred rounds - the barrel is junk, fit only as a pea stake
Appears qc hasn’t changed much and remains a lottery wether you get a good one or not
I payed about 700£ for my ba13 its for hunting not for shooting a big number of rounds, I got what I payed for a rifle to hunt with, about 30mm at 100m I am not expecting it to last to the next generation of hunters. The same amount of money could have bought med a custom barrel or a used 20 year old rifle. If i had payed 3-4000£ I would expect nice finish and it may last for 50 years.
Willy Wonka must have made pretty hard chocolate then
My Bergara B14 HMR in 22-250 with a 1 in 9 twist barrel was, by far the most accurate gun I ever owned.
Wish I had never sold it
If I was buying another rifle, Bergara would be right at the top of my list

It should be noted that Ronins disdain for Bergara rifles is well known on this forum
He is a very experienced gun plumber and is perfectly entitled to his opinions
That does not necessarily make them universally correct
