Is that like a Savage/Anschutz thing ?

No that’s like a corp-office/manufacturing plant thing. VA is where FNH’s “home office” was (maybe still is?) located. That rifle was built in the New Haven CN “Winchester” manufacturing facility. When FNH ended “Winchester” M70 production in CN, those FNH SPR rifles continued production in that facility. They’re a re-badged short action M70 CRF (except the .223’s, those were push or CRPF, don’t recall which.

Browning A/X Bolt rifles say Ogden UT on one side, that’s Browining’s importation, corporate, and Mktg. offices. The other side says Made in Japan and I believe Miroku.

Savage/Anschutz was I believe an “importation thing” and happened to a bunch of off-shore manufacturers when GCA 1968 was enacted. There were a bunch of marketing companies with the ability to import firearms that did so for overseas manufacturers. Interarms, Ithaca (SKB, and Tikka), Charles Daly were all primarily importers, not manufacturers.

All that won't matter. Retard is retard.

I get that but are there any meds that could help you out ?

That answer was in response to Davy’s question regarding Savage/Anschutz.

I don’t relish Remington’s demise nor Winchester’s need to be bailed out of bankruptcy by Austrians.

Bottom line regarding firearms production inside our borders today:

1. You either have significant scale and ability to build huge volume of guns that can be sold dirt-cheap while turning a profit.

2. You actually shoot. You have a good grasp of the mechanics surrounding rifledom and can build things that all work together in harmony, and charge enough to turn a profit on a mechanically sound platform that is accurate with pretty much any ammo the package has enough RPM to stabilize.

I thought I deleted the post. Sorry.
