This is to those that reside in the USA. Thought I would just throw this out there for comment. I notice a lot of talk about Sako's, Tikka's, Browning, Vortex, Nikon, etc.
Do you try and buy American as much as you can, or do you spend the money on what you think is the best no matter where it is made? Not to detail it down to every little part on the product if something it contains might be made elsewhere, I'm talking the majority of the item itself.
In my own opinion and views I try and keep things local, even if I have to pay a little more, at least I know that I'm somewhat making an effort in trying to keep this country going and hopefully another american citizen with a job. If there is a local shop in town I try to go through them first, then regional, statewide, and US. Usually I can find what I need. This country has made some good rifles, scopes, ammo, fishing gear, clothing, etc. Like with anything there have been ups and downs with bad decisions made at those companies, but that all helps on your item being more precious and unique if you got it before the fact, or after...(sorry for those that get it during :hump
.
Just curious if any others put much thought into this when purchasing, or if they just look at the item itself wherever it might be made.
