Should I contact Sako? I'm not a lawsuit happy person, but would Sakobe responsible for the damage to my truck?
Thats funny right there! Thats why S&W pistols now have internal locks on them. Frivolous lawsuits!

Dude...you shot a hole in your truck....its YOUR FAULT. Sure, the trigger sear shouldn't have slipped...or slam fired...whatever....but Sako didn't point it at your truck, you did.

Thats why you should always have a liscensed and insured GUNSMITH work on your triggers....that would give you a right to recourse for repair (at least on the gun....but still probably not on the truck, depends how good a lawyer you have)....but if you aren't savy enough to point a rifle in a safe direction...you just ought not have guns. Sorry to sound like an ass...but thats just how it is. I'm glad you are alright, and that nothing worse than your truck was hurt...but just let it be an expensive lesson.
