As Roundball and Triple Se7en have tried to explain, while I have read Thompson Center's warranty, if that's the case,they are only obligated to honor those aspects. The company goes well beyond their obligations when it comes to their rifles. Also I am not a product tester for them or own no stock in the company. Just a lot of stocks on their rifles.

I have purchased many Thompson Center rifles. Both new and used of course. Every rifle I have asked to have serviceon, they have made the repairs without question. Never once did they argue with me over past ownership or warranty. In fact I often wondered why they did not. Most of the time while you are explaining to their excellent customer service department as best you can your problems, I have had them take that extra time to explain it all to me, and then usually advise me, mail it to us, and let us fix it for you. Then the rifle is mailed back at their cost with in more then a reasonable time frame. I have only the highest ratings for their company.

Years ago, I fell while hunting and broke the stock on my Renegade. Totally my fault without question. When I called Thompson Center attempting to "purchase" a new stock, they insisted that it was covered and to send them the rifle. The rifle was returned with a new stock (better then the old one) fitted to all the hardware and barrel perfect, free of charge.

To end this disagreement from my end, Frontier Gander you seem to have excellent luck with CVA so by all means purchase their products. Your defence of their company is admirable to say the least. I own CVA rifles and have used their customer service as well. I personally will not bad mouth any of the companies we see mentioned so often on these boards. We need more then one rifle company to choose from.Yet, you will never convince me that Thompson Center's warranty is not one of the best in the business. Also people like myself are willing to pay that extra dollar for the satisfaction they get for the peace of mind that Thompon Center provides as well as (so far in my cases) the excellent quality product they produce.
