American made? Whites would be my pick if I can’t go Italian. And if I can’t find local I’d probably order them from eurooptic. Granted they have limited selection but I like the owhyhees only. I don’t do tall boots.
My tensor popped loose and created a speed bump effect that had to try to sleep on. They were good to replace it but I no longer trusted it. Cool days I pack an exped ultra and just plain cold days I use a heavier Klymit insulated luxe v. Fwiw I’m a big guy.
I’m on the fence about which ones for two builds. So many of their stocks are close to what I want but none check all the boxes.
Sure would help if they’d return an email.
I still love an ol’ 870. I’ve liked others but I keep coming back to it. Ambi thumbhole lets me take 3.5” recoil better and I can switch and shoot left handed unlike other thumbholes. Yeah, i could go with less shell and likely will after this year but can’t argue the results.
Repaired my favorite last year. JLC calls made me a slate over glass I’ve loved but he’s gone dark. It repaired well and sounds the same to me! (Broken slate)
