Default Smith and Wesson Rifle

I have a bolt action Smith and Wesson rifle in 243 calibur that I purchase from a guy at work. A guy gave it to him to cover a debt and since he didn't hunt or shoot he sold it to me. It has a 3x9 Gold ring Leupold scope on it. I paid him 400$. It is an extremely accurate gun and in like new condition. I have been told by others that Smith and Wesson no longer makes rifles. Anyone here had any expierience with these rifles or know why S&W stopped making them. Would love to hear from any of you about it.

The Smith and Wesson line (made by Howa in ***an) was sold to Mossberg and they eventually gave it up. Howa is trying to sell directly to the US Markets today with some success.
At $400 you got a heck of a deal.....It's a fine gun!!
