| We are still waiting to find out which serial numbers are involved. You can get a 7mm Ultra Mag or a 7mm STW off of gunbroker.com for about $600.00. The affected rifles will likely be the light weight versions. JCN |

| I ordered a Sako Hunter Model 75 in a .338 caliber, and was told by the dealer that this rifle would not be available until January or February 2005. A friend just bought a Tikka bolt-action hunting rifle in a 30.-06. Any news on that specific rifle?
I will also take this opportunity to thank everyone in helping me make this decision. Now I just hope I can obtain this rifle prior to my spring bear hunt in Canada. |

| ELKaddict, Call Cott Firearms in Missouri 660-784-2688, I bought a 7mm Ultra for $649 plus shipping. As of last month he had several other Ultra Mags available in both wood and Stainless at excellent prices. His service was exemplary, I can't think of anything he could have done better. I plan on trying my 300 RUM M=75 Stainless on Elk next weekend...........DJ |

| It applies to Sako and Tiika stainless steel rifles purchased after 2/04. If you have a rifle in question call 1-800-503-8869 and give them your name,phone number and serial number. I purchased a new SS 75 in 4/04 and they promptly called back in 10 minutes and informed me it was not subject to the recall. |

| elkaddict, I've got a stainless .300 Wby Sako 75 I've been considering selling (with reloading dies). If you're interested in it send me a PM. However, I will tell you it's got a walnut stock (nicely figured), not the synthetic you want. It's been a great rifle, never had a problem with it. My big game hunting is probably going to be limited to whitetail deer only, so I don't really have a need for this rifle. Plus, I've got a son who will be hunting soon, so I'd like to part with this gun to buy one for him.
BTW, I tried to PM this message to you, but you've set your profile to not allow PM's. Wasn't sure if you were aware of this.

| Hey Semprelk, thanks for the number. I called and the lady looked mine up and told me that my 2 weren't included in the recall. |

| Cliffs2 , no problem..had me a little concerned too but they were very prompt calling back. I am thinking it has to be limited just to Finnlights but those pictures are pretty scary. |
