American know-how in firearms over the years is well known.
There are some rifles that are considered iconic. MSN.com has posted a slideshow of the 13 greatest USA made rifles ever made.

From the echoes of frontier legends to the precision shots defining modern hunting and warfare, American-made rifles have carved their indelible mark on both history and innovation. These iconic firearms, ranging from the revolutionary lever-actions that tamed the Wild West to the bolt-actions and semi-automatics that have defended freedom across the globe, represent more than just tools of the trade; they symbolize the spirit of American ingenuity and resilience. Each rifle in our list has not only shaped the course of firearms technology but has also become a cherished piece of Americana, embodying stories of survival, adventure, and triumph.
As we explore the greatest USA-made rifles ever, we pay homage to the engineering marvels that have empowered generations of Americans in their pursuits, be it on the battlefield, the hunting ground, or the competitive arena.
