Foreign Made Items

[J Jones]

I'll pay a slight premium for an American made product, but the quality MUST be there first. I don't see much quality for a lot of American made products.

cracked butt, I concur. Although I don't like plastic on my guns of any type a Tikka at $495.00 or a CZ for $450 is tough to beat. Remington is closest with the ADL line, and they at least chamber a 270, but the BDL's are $600.00. The USRA's are $600 and up. But I suspect the Tikka will out shoot the the USRA or the Remington, and wouldn't be suprised if the CZ did.

In fairness I did get rummaging around on the USRA site and did find something I liked a Model 70 Custom Ultimate Classic in a 280 Remington I didn't like the $2900 price tag though, lets see thats:

1 Dakota Arms Wood Hunter -$2500 and $500 for glass
2 Sako 75 Deluxe rifles
3 Sako 75 Hunter rifles
6 Tikkas
6 CZ's lets make a couple magnums

The majority of American buyers are price shoppers first and quality second

That is true when it comes to many consumer goods. However when it comes to durable goods such as autos and firearms, shoppers will decide with a greater balance between quality and price.
