About 4 months ago I purchased a Tikka T3 Lite/Stainless .30-06. ONLY after reviewing the Gun Forums did I discover that there was a recall on the stainless steel Sako/Tikka models. I just can't believe and am thoroughly sickened by Beretta/Sako/Tikka. There is nothing to be found on any of their websites, no press releases, and I didn't even get a letter from them (and I registered the product as soon as I received it!). How do you not publicly accept responsibility for such a defect? For those of you who haven't seen this (especially who own a Tikka or Sako), here's a link to another forum with pictures.

If you bought a Sako/Tikka model after Feb 2004, call 1(800) 503-8869 to see if your rifle is subject to recall. I called two days ago, and the lady came back on the line after I gave her my serial number and said "SIR, DO NOT FIRE YOUR RIFLE". Ridiculous.
