i would prefer to buy made in the USA products. Bought a new TC Encore in 2005 or 2006. Despite the fact i've killed a lot of deer and hogs with that gun i still have a bad taste in the mouth. Sure as hades a company that really cared about quality control could produce a gun that did not require major overhaul to become a good serviceable piece. My made in 1950 Wichester model 37 shotgun fits tighter than my Encore. i love my TC Black Diamond. Sometimes i can't believe it and my Encore were made by the same company.

Last several deer seasons i saw a lot of hunters carrying CVA rifles; mostly Accuras and Optimas. i've scoped and sighted in some of those guns and they do shoot very well. The services of a separate company are not required to make them serviceable guns.
