    For sure Carmel attracts a bit of envy posting his expensive cars,bikes,guns and talk of summering in France etc... but he doesn't help(beyond entertainment value of the fallout) when he makes un necessary, exaggerated performance claims.

    For the record, I like his posts. But I understand some of the skeptics.

    Sweet rifle Caramel and really nice optic.

    Don't ever stop being you!
    If you make your template out of a suitable O ring you could stretch it to fit when the groups aren't round....

    What is the warranty for a SA? What's covered?
    Lifetime? Transferable?
    Imagine contacting them about your sweet new rifle with a warped or cracked walnut stock and they ask if you fired reloads?

    In Canada we are lucky if a company sees fit to make sure the parts are in country! Getting a gun fixed in Canada under warranty, in under a year, with satisfaction is probably a dream for most owners.

    This thread makes me want to get out and try my m1a to see if I can even come close to how good JP shoots. Wish I had time.

    I don't think you understand. Almost everyone is complimenting Caramel on his beautiful rifle. It is the "sub MOA" boasting that is drawing ire.

    WHO AND WHAT IS COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY?
    Springfield, Inc. warrants to You, the original retail purchaser of the Product, that the Product
    You purchased will be free of defects in workmanship or material, subject to the terms of this
    document.

    HOW LONG WILL THIS WARRANTY LAST?
    This Limited Warranty will last and be in effect during in which YOU, the original retail
    purchaser, owns the Product.
    OK so I took a look and it looks like the warranty only applies to the original owner so if you are buying used worrying about reloads is moot.

    Also as for reloads they pretty much say what every gun maker says....any problems caused by reloaded ammo is not covered. It does not say that "you fully and completely void the warranty by shooting reloads"

    WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY?
    This Limited Warranty does not cover any damage or condition determined by Springfield to be
    caused by:

    unauthorized repairs, disassembly, adjustments or modifications
    carelessness, negligence, misuse, or unsafe handling
    normal wear and tear
    failure to properly or reasonably store, use, or maintain the product
    hand-loaded, reloaded, remanufactured, or defective ammunition
