[QUOTE="JOHNNIE WALKER, post: 1014520, member: 67011"] Personally, I do think that some of the finest rifles ever made came from Europe. But, the Made in China, Taiwan, or Japan stamp has never made me think of "quality". One advantage to buying an American made rifle, if you live in america, is the availability of parts and service if needed. Rem700s and Savages are so common, aftermarket parts are everywhere, and it's rare that a smith can't work on one. If you have a problem with your rifle and need to send it to the factory, it's nice when it only goes across a few states to the place it was made. I have read good reveiws on the TIKKAS, and some of the members on here really like them. But I think you'll find in your reasearch that most would take a 700 or a savage over the tikka. Also, I have heard of a few custom rifles built on a tikka action, I don't think I've ever heard of one built on a WEATHERBY or a howa, and as you know customs with 700 and savage actions are everywhere. Probably a reason for this, and something you might want to consider. But this is all just my opinion. Have you got any closer to choosing? [/QUOTE]
