Generally today, key parts are likely sourced in various places worldwide and the rifle assembled in Portugal. This place of manufacture and assembly will be indicated on the barrel. Some hunters and shooters have reasons for purchasing only Made In USA firearms. We understand. But it would be incorrect to base your decision to not buy a Model 70 (or XPR) from our Portugal plant due to a fear of poor performance.
