Default RE: Anyone have a Beretta Mato?

I do know that the "blow up problem" happened over a year ago and has since been resolved. They actually did have an exact list of serial numbers and those guns were recalled. Many were never even sold, but were pulled straight from store racks. It effected only the Sako Finnlite and a few Tikka T3 stainless rifles. The standard weight Sako 75 were not included, and the Sako 85's are fine. They got a bad batch of barrel blanks from their foundry that were too soft. Since it's the foundry that casts and tests the blanks, Sako didn't become aware of the problem until after the rifles were made.

Nothing to worry about.

Mike
