Quick question for the hide, what kinds of warranties are offered by your favorite rifle makers? Such as GAP, AI, and so forth?

What sparks this question is my father, he is really into Christensen Rifles, he had a .375 H&H to take to Africa, he's come home and sold it, but he's thinking of buying another. It was a pretty cool rifle, but after messing around on Christensen's site I found that they only warranty their rifles for 30 days, seems pretty ridiculous to buy a $5000 dollar rifle that is only warrantied for 30 days, but I couldn't find GAP's on their site other than the 1/2moa guarantee, but I'm fairly sure they must do a better job than that, right? I also found that Black Ops Precision warranties their rifle's for life, that's pretty damned cool! Post what you know of custom rifle warranties, maybe we can all learn somethin, thanks!!
 
My Surgeon is for life and I think GAPs are to, this does not include barrels being shot out or you doing something stupid to it.
 
Thanks for the reply 308Gunner, anyone else care to chime in?
 
Most reputable companies will stand behind their products and give lifetime warranties because of that. I have had setbacks getting things fixed by a few well known gunsmiths. As for AI I have owned 5 of their rifles and shot thousands upon thousands of rounds through them and have had to use the warranty twice for two very minor things, both times they took care of the problem promptly and at no cost. You couldn't ask for more from a company.

I've never personally owned a christensen arms but I know people who have and it doesn't surprise me they only have a 30 day warranty. I haven't seen anything positive from their products unless you want a 6MOA gun a company sends back telling you its fine.

This ^^^^^^^ is as it should be. Tac Ops rifles also carry a Lifetime Warranty exclusive of barrel life.
