Some of the best made American Products:

Any Remington product. This past year I gave my youngest son, my old Remington 870 AP 12, that I bought in 1954. The gun still works great for him. Since I don't duck hunt anymore, I gave my oldest son, my Remington 1100 3in mag 12 semi Auto. I bought this gun in 1972 to be able to hit the high flying ducks and geese in California. My 870 AP could not reach high enough for clean kills! This 1100 had close to 30 muddy/raining/sleeting and ? hunting seasons! It could reach up and smack down a Canadian Goose at 50 plus yards and mallards/pin tails at 60 plus yards. It never misfired nor rusted! I have a Remington semi auto 30-06, which has never had a problem even during blinding rain storms or snow storms with temps below zero! My oldest son will get that one too as it is a left handed gun! Again basically only Remington does this. This gun was a gift from some Utah friends in 1972!

My oldest son has two Remington bolt action rifles that he bought after graduation from college in 1990. One a varmit rifle was in the back of his construction truck for years. The other a 7 mm went out during deer season. Both guns are equipped with fine scopes and have never had to be even fine tuned. The varmit rifle is sighted in at 200 yards and is effective up to 400. The 7mm is sighted in at 100 and effective up to 400 yards. Every deer shot has been dropped in their tracks. My son like me is left eyed and right handed. The bolts and the semi auto 1100 are left handed models for us throwbacks!

Napa Valley wines, Chardonay, Merlot, and Cabs, are among the best in the world, and at great prices today! Oregon Pinot Noirs are probably the best in the world!

Pendleton Wool shirts, blankets and jackets last forever if you use cedar to chase away the moth!

Gore Tex products for those of us who hunt and fish and just go outdoors keeps us warm and dry regardless of the weather!

Good American beef, pork and chicken are the best in the world re quality and prices!

Vegies and fruit from the California Valley and the Salinas/Monterey to Santa Barbara area has no peers!

Rice raised in the No. California valley area is so good that many Asian countries import it as their #1 rice.

King Salmon caught from Monterey Bay to the Alaska waters is one of the greatest and healthiest fish in the world to eat! Smoked sockeye salmon from the NW and Alaska is world class. Salmon caught in the Copper River in Alaska in the summer time is the best in the world!

American micro brew beers from the East Coast to the West Coast are tremendous beers and match or exceed the beers from the rest of the world.

Only bourbon made in America should be called bourbon!

The best cotton clothes still come from American companies!

Sage fly fishing rods are truly world class and backed by a world class company. I would never use any fly fishing reel except ones made in American by Americans. The fly lines made by Jim Vincent are designed for American fly fishing by Jim and others who spend every free moment fly fishing!

Simms's Gore Tex waders, their Gore Tex fishing/wading jackets, stay dry underwear and windstopper vests, gloves and jacket products keep you warm, dry and comfortable from the hottest days in the Summer to the coldest winter days! Again made in America for most Simms products!

For outdoor clothes, the Columbia line is hard to beat. You do have to read the labels to avoid ChiCom products!

If you want a good mountain bike, stick with one of the major American makers. Yep the gears are imported but most of the rest is American made!

These are just a few of the great American Products and products harvested by Americans like the salmon!

Gramicci makes really tough cotton sportswear for the whole family.

They originally made rock-climbing pants, so they wear hard, but look nice.

New Balance 990's are very comfortable and still Made In USA.
