Boyt Harness has been wonderful to deal with. I bought a case and it was the wrong length, no problem a replacement was on it's way before I could send the wrong one back. I have a couple of VERY old cases that needed repair for zippers and straps. They replaced it all at no charge.

You're different than I am Rich. I worry over buying things from these old school companies like Boyt and LL Bean that used to be Made in USA and have now sold out going straight Made in China. It bothers me, and I just won't hardly do it. I can find stuff on the secondary market that's solid and made here if I'm willing to wait and look hard enough. If I buy new, it's from outfits that still sell some good old American gear. I barely darkened the door of a Cabela's or a Bass Pro in 10 years. It just bugs me, so I avoid places like that.

Oh I hear you Destry but unfortunately we can't buy 100% made in USA any more but hopefully that is changing slowly but surely. It's still refreshing to know that there are companies out there who offer exemplary customer service and Boyt is one of them.

I don't frequent Cabela's either and have never been in a Bass Pro.

Duluth Pack and Frost River both make great gun cases in a similar style to Boyt and they both make them right here in the USA.

I was down at Knutson's the other day and saw a great looking similar case made by Allen that was marked USA. Nice price, but it was a short one, and all my guns are long. I jumped on my phone as soon as I got in the truck to order the same case in the long model. Well apparently Allen is heading towards straight China and sure enough the one I wanted wasn't made in the USA anymore.

But to their credit, Allen does still make some stuff here.

I like Filson and Russell boots. Made in America, at least last I checked, and quality stuff
