My first winchester came to me in perfect working shape and 4 years later its still going strong. As for warranty, Winchester offered me freenew sights for mine when i was asking them about any other styles they had. My eyes are really bad and i had a hard time seeing the front. They are very high quality made, they just dont advertise like they should be doing. Then again, ive noticed that T/C's ad's have slowed down a lot of tv. Either way, if something ever does happen, Winchester will take care of it Asap.
