Winchesters are sourced from several places, here in the US & abroad.

There is no Winchester manufacturing going on in Utah.
There is one company that produces .22 pistols FOR Browning in Utah.
There is no Browning manufacturing facility in Utah.

Morgan is where Browning is headquartered, and the same for the Winchester part of the operation.
Browning has used its Morgan, Utah, stamp for many years on Browning guns that never saw Utah. It just reflects the corporate address.

If your rifle says it was made in the US, I'd say the FN facility in South Carolina.

The only things made in Utah are Buckmarks, 1911-22s, and some non-firearm products (bows, etc.). And the Buckmarks and 1911-22s are made by a contractor, not by Browning.
