Not my experience. Modern Miroku made Winchesters are expensive, but the fit and finish is as good as anything that came out of the Winchester factory, they just don't have the history or nostalgia. Having used and owned BLRs with steel actions and later alloy ones all made by Miroku I have not noticed any difference in quality except half a pound less in weight.

Cannot speak for Marlin or Henrys etc.
