Winchester Model 70 Question

[tmr612]

Earlier this year I bought a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight from the local Cableas. Stampted on the barrel is "-Made in USA - Baco INC - Morgan, UTAH-". My understanding was that the barrels were made with the new rifles in Columbia, South Carolina. Can anyone explain the markings on my barrel?

Thanks in advance!

Made in USA - Baco INC - Morgan, UTAH

BACO is Browning Arms Company, and that's their address.

Winchester, Browning, and FNH-USA are all in bed together someway.

Winchester Repeating Arms is a subsidiary of BACO Inc., in Morgan, Utah, which is a subsidiary of the Browning Arms Company/Fabrique Nationale, which is also FNH-USA.

Where is everything really made at?

The FNP pistols are stamped Fredericksburg Virginia and I know they aren't made there.
