Looking to buy a Tikka Hunter "blued" in .22-250.
While googling around the internet, I came across a whole bunch of links to a Tikka recall involving barrels that exploded.

I like the gun, but I am worried about quality, and the whole barrel exploding scares me..

Did anyone have one that was recalled?

Does anyone know if the blued barrels were effected? or just the stainless?

Do I have anything to worry about?

Thanks Guys
 
Copied from another site.

A limited number of recently delivered Sako and Tikka stainless steel rifles have been recalled due to a problem discovered in the steel used in the barrels.

The lowest serial number affected by this recall is 419140 and the highest serial number affected is 461951; however, only a small percentage of rifles within this range of numbers is being recalled. In addition, no rifle shipped before February 2004 is involved in the recall.

Because only a limited number of recently shipped rifles are involved in the recall, customers being asked to return their rifle are being contacted directly.

Although the recall is nearly complete (99% of rifles affected by the recall in the U.S. have already been returned or are in the process of being returned), if you have a stainless steel Sako or Tikka rifle within the serial number range listed above, received by you after February 28, 2004, and you want to check and determine whether it is being recalled, please call 1-800-503-8869.

If you have received a written or telephonic recall notice, please follow the instructions for returning the recalled product contained in that notice.
