Yep, modern Weatherby's have Howa receivers. Which brings up the question, "why do people still pay the price for Weatherbys?"
However, Howa's are good receivers. A few companies make good aftermarket triggers for them now. I've rebarrelled a few Howa's and built some great shooting rifles on those receivers. I personally would not own one since I don't enjoy deliberately sending money to Japan. Call me a prude, but I just don't like Jap car's, firearms, or motorcycles.
Objectively speaking, Remington 700 receivers and rifles are superior to the Howa's.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've heard thatlame rationalizationbefore. Usually from people who own Jap vehicles and bikeswhenperfectly good American vehicles were available.
Bottom line is, no matter where the parts come from, or are assembled, Honda & Toyota are Japanese companies and the money goes to Japan.
You're V Rod enginemay have been designed in Europe andsomeparts of my Wide Glide were made in Japan. But, it's an American company and the money stays here.
I don't care if you own Jap cars and equiment. You shouldn't feel like such a big loser. I'm sure several of your friends don't think of you that way.

I find that amusing since many Honda and Toyota vehicles are made in the USA while many vehicles sold by the American companies are made in foreign countries such as Mexico.My Harley is designed in Europe,my Honda atv is made in the USA,my Toyota car is made in Canada,and my new toyota truck will be made in the USA.Yet my neighbours Dodge truck is made in Mexico.

No one can help it that imported rifles are blowing away american in quality and accuracy. Sako, Browning, Howa, Tikka, etc. are some of the best you can get for the money these days. They're sold in america, by americans, for americans. Who cares who makes them, as long as they stay awesome!

Puppypumper,
I made an "analogy". Then you got defensive. Why do you feel you have to sway my opinion? Are you getting paid for it?
Don't bother with me. I'm too old to change and you're an idiot.
