Well, you should at least call the hotline and find out if your serial number is in the batch of bad barrels. Do a search for "Sako Recall" if no one after me posts the number, because this was a hot topic 2 or 3 weeks ago. I can't remember it. Sorry

It seems that it is not only a bad batch of barrels it has to do with metallurgy flaw in their stainless steel so their receivers are in question too. Lawdog

C.J,

I don't believe yours would be included but just to be on the safe side I would call Sako anyway. Better to be safe then sorry. Lawdog
