For immediate replies, send money.

Winchester Model 70 is still made in the USA by US Repeating Arms. They and Browning are both owned by what amounts to FN Belgium. They do a lot of collaborating with Beretta but I don't know if there is any ownership.

For detailed replies, send more money.

A Winchester factory rifle will be of comparable accuracy with other makes. You can select on "features" and be OK.

I doubt a Featherweight has plastic working parts. It might well contain some MIM, unless they had other manufacturing methods already worked out to cost them less.

For all-milled rifles, send lots of money.
