Brownell"s Guaranteed. Forever.

[DadSmith]

Has anyone ever used this guarantee on their products that has it?

If so do they honor it and respond with good customer service?

Used it once for a Lyman Gen 6 powder throw. Replaced it no questions asked.

Brownells.

Could have purchased it locally but used Brownells just for this guarantee.

Good to know. I think that guarantee would be the way to go on multiple items including powder measure, scopes etc.

No joke. I didn't know this was a thing, but I'll certainly keep it in mind now. Lifetime warranty on expensive optics that are begging to get bashed into stuff? Yep. I believe I would take that deal.

Somehow I don’t see this policy sticking around forever. Sure, things bought under it will be grandfathered in, but I don’t see this being a thing forever…

Members on other forums are talking about it back to at least 2015 so it's been around a minute. Looks like the only bugaboo is that you get a store credit and not cash. I see that as fair as I probably wanted what I bought anyhow as to have no returned it immediately.

REI has done this a long time, and somehow made it work. They sell the stuff at a quarterly ‘garage sale’ to members, pre ‘rona. It’s online now. I’ve gotten all my work boots from their for years, 200-300$ boots for 70-120 and nothing really wrong with them except the guy who didn’t know he had soft feet and couldn’t handle them.
Don’t know how they’ve done it, but it’s a nice feature, hope it works for Brownells.

Brownells has never disappointed me, so I can't remember returning anything to them.

I did go to a few of those REI garage sales and got some excellent deals on some things I'd never pay full price on. Yakima gear, Fox riding pants, bicycle parts, all that stuff that is big bucks scare my wallet away!

But if they're doing the garage sales online now, that's even better than the crazy crowd that was there. I'm going to check it out.

Cool, that’s some good info. Glad I responded and it helped bring that to light for everyone.

I think what used to be garage sale stuff is now under “used gear”, wasn’t near as fun as the real deal. Not an event at a specific time with all the stuff there, just trickling in as people turn it in for gift cards.

Okay thanks. I'm in need of some new carabiner's for when I climb trees to cut for my safety equipment.

Quite possibly cheaper than Gemplers.

I have.
RCBS Chargemaster Combo. I evidently didn’t secure my 25 pound isolation transformer on the top of my loading bench shelf and it fell about 3 feet onto my RCBS. Totally smashed it.

i explained it to customer service and the nice polite lady said it was no problem. I sent it back and they sent me a brand new one. Saved me from spending about $400 on a new one.
