A good warranty is only as good as the company behind it! If theses companies know that what they're building is inferior then what good is the warranty?
I work for a global corporation that has had it's ups and downs over the past 20 years with quality control issues. From 2005 to 2010 our products were once again built with pride in design and workmanship, with design features that made the products stand out and above our competitors. As of 2011 our largest selling product which accounts for 65% of our sales was decontented of these features to the point that I am now embarassed by what it now offers our consumers. All in the name of the once mighty $$$. Sadly in this economy and at my age I find it diffucult to change employers.
I will be purchasing a Savage model 12 in 308.
Savage still takes pride in their products quality and workmanship and they answer the phone if and when you call.
