Yeah, the Brownings I own are Belgium made Brownings that were passed down from my father, I wouldnt own a Japanese made Browning either.

sorry you wont consider a remington. most of my rifles are remington and would not hesitate to buy one. just got a 06 remington SPS this year and am very pleased with it. shoots well. at least its made here in the USA.

decided on the savage,it has a faster twist.and is light but wood really like a howa.as usual im ona budget.if it shoots even close to my old 22-250 i;ll be a happy camper.thanks eveyone for imput,each weapon does have alot of good features but for what i want out of the box savage wins.most all 243s ive looked at has a 1-10 twist.
