But arent the acclaimed Austin & Halleck rifles made in Spain. No one seems to complain about them. Sure they have fancy maple stocks to enhance their looks and their company is in Utah, but they are made in Spain(barrels by extrusion process). I think they are even stamped that still to this day. I have noticed another certain company uses this process and complaints are made about them all the time, but not good ole A&H rifles. The rest of the parts are probably made there as well and assembled here in the US if you could pry the information out of them. As for accuracy I have seen several Tradition Evolutions and other models shoot as good if not better than the A&H. My brother has a LD lightning stainless fluted that will shoot 3 shots in an 1 1/2" to 2" all day at 100 yards(scoped) with Traditions 250 gr. sabots. Sure this new so called Remington rifle may have not been the best idea in the world and I agree, but where is the cut off for the made in Spain thing. Made in Spain is made in Spain unless someone does a metal test on the different brands that are made in Spain to see if one is better than the other and can show the public the results. Does A&H have their own barrel making facility in Spain. i dont think so. They told me they found a supplier that met their needs and went with them when I spoke to them recently. They have to be coming from a company already set up there that has been doing this for a good while. Ummm maybe the same place Traditions gets their barrels from or perhaps CVA. Just my 2 cents.
