THERE IS A RECALL ON STAINLESS STEEL TIKKA AND SAKO RIFLES PURCHASED THIS YEAR. Unfortunately Sako and Beretta are trying to hide that fact. There has been a detailed discussion of 5 such blow-ups with photos on the Gunsmithing section of the forums on www.accuratereloading.com I will post it there . Please try to find out more and if you can contact the owner and notify him of the recall...Photos would be nice Save all parts. At this point it seems to be a problem of a bad batch of steel ..SHAME ON BERETTA
