BERETTA RECALL OF SAKO, TIKKA RIFLES NEARLY COMPLETE . . . 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

Ohh the horror!!!
It's quite clear the owner of that rifle didn't care about cosmetics. Look he's using stainless rings on a black matte finish scope . Not only that, the finish on the rings doesn't even match the finish on the rifle. Come on, get it right and make everything look nice with a set of matte finish rings on that beautiful gold rings scopeHehehe! I was gonna say something about that, too. I blame the scope...bronco_mudder said:Ohh the horror!!!
Any one of your rifles would could let go like that with a charge of shotgun powder instead of rifle powder.
Kind of like the guy here last year that posted the pics of the guide gun blown to bits. as the story came out later, he used shotgun powder instead of the correct powder.
120,000PSI would do that to nearly any action...
So, lets blame the gun not realizing how many variables could be involved causing such a catestrophic failure.
Its Sako's fault some guy couldnt read the label on a powderkeg
