I had a Tikka T3 lite stainless these along with the Sako stainless rifles were recalled beacuse of a defect in the barrel material. The Tikka shot excellent but make sure the rifle you are buying is not effected by the recall it took me 4 months to get my rifle back from Beretta USA you can call Beretta at 1-800-503-8869 and give them the serial number of the rifle they can tell you if it is effected by the recall. I hope this helps chad
