I liked the ones I handled other than the "Made in Japan" mark stamped into the side of it.
I'm with you about that "Made in Japan" thing on a Weatherby staring at you on the side of the reciever.I liked the ones I handled other than the "Made in Japan" mark stamped into the side of it.
I couldn't imagine myself sitting in the woods all day with that glaring back at me.
I like my Ruger all weather though. Shoots great ta boot.
That is why I opted not to pick up an S2. I really like the rifle, and already own both a Howa 1500 Lighting in 6.5x55 and a Weatherby Vanguard Varmint Special in .223 Rem. I just decided that my next rifle should be made in America by American workers. Guess I got my new Model 70 just in time, as now I hear that in 2013 they will manufacture the components here, but that the rifle will be assembled in Portugal and shipped back to the US for sale. I suppose my next one will have to be a Ruger, Savage or Remington, since they are all assembled here. (at least for the moment).I'm with you about that "Made in Japan" thing on a Weatherby staring at you on the side of the reciever.
