They are from Finland. I really like the rifle. It has one of the smoothest actions I have tried...and all for a bargain price. Mine has a wood stock and the wood is very nice for a sub 800 dollar rifle. It is perfect for a plains game/elk/bear rifle. It is very comfortable to shoot and has a palm swell that you will rarely find in a budget rifle. I know its a small detail but shows that it is well thought out.
