FG I couldswear you are anti-T/C. I will go ahead and admit it that I've never had to use my warranty on either of my T/C Rifles, and, actually, none of my guns at all. You may think everyone has problems with their T/Cs because of all the miracle stories about customer service you wouldn't hear about with other companies...whatever it is, my experience with T/C rifles is great, and I will recommend them so long as it remains so. I'm not one to hold a grudge against a product I'm not familiar with, or one that doesn't have features that I've found problematic.
