I figure if I have to send the rifle back to the maker, to be fixed at all, I took a beating. I have never seen those episodes end happily...at least for me.

I figured out that manufacturers make rifles to a certain standard;and "fix" them to that same standard,which isn't necessarily what the customer expects.Took me a couple of episodes to figure this out.

The best warranty in the world is one that you never need,but people are conditioned today to expect warranties,because there is so much shidt on the market.With a good rifle,warranties are not (should not be) required.

If a rifle needs to be fixed, I give it to a good smith;I don't trust factories to fix rifle problems.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
