I heard about this and from what I have read it's both good and bad! Basically my understanding is that now FN has the power to manufacture Winchester rifles somewhere else besides Connecticut. Most likely they will start making them in ***an by Miroku - the same manufacturer that Browning used for the reproduction 1886, 1895, 12sand other guns. It will be nice to be able to buy new 94s and 70s again and the quality should be good but I hate it that they won't be made in the U.S. anymore! The worlds economy has changed and I guess we will just have to make the best of it - I don't see it ever going back to the way it was!

Both Browning and FN have a superb reputation for making top quality firearms.I see no problem with this. I prefer to buy American even if it costs me more (which it often does). But look at it this way, Winchester doesn't have to go away and overseas manufacture generally means good quality at a lower price.
