Case in point, I was at a match about 30 years ago and this guy was complaining his Mod 70 Target was crap and he had the identical rifle as mine and within 100 in the serial number range. I asked him if I might shoot it and I laid down at 200 yards and shot a 5 shot group under an inch with iron sights from prone with sling for support.

Tikka T3 Hunter and Tikka T3 Sporter rifles.
The Tikka T3 is a series of bolt-action rifles manufactured by SAKO under their Tikka brand in Riihimäki, Finland since 2003.[1] The series is available in a wide variety of different sight, calibre and stock configurations as well as several barrel lengths. The rifle series was developed by SAKO product development team led by Kari Kuparinen.[1]
In 2016 the series received an overhaul and the improved models were named Tikka T3x.[2][3] All improved parts of the T3x are compatible with the older T3 models.[2][4]

I have no intention of selling the gun. I would never put someone at risk, even if they were willing to sign a release. Besides, I can't imagine how someone would be dumb enough to buy it in the first place if they really knew what they were buying.
I still haven't heard back from Beretta. Maybe they're only returning calls to folks who have an affected gun. I'm really displeased with the way they're handling this issue. Why aren't they more up front about it? Why don't they just publish a list of serial numbers somewhere, or have a feature on their web site where you can type in a serial number and get an answer?
Actually, I seem to be having a run of bad luck lately. Let's see...
1) I ordered an ATV part from a legitimate seller on ebay. He sent the wrong part and won't make it right. Told me to re-sell it on ebay! The problem with that is I don't know what make/model it fits, just what it doesn't fit.
2) Ordered an item from onlinemetals.com at least two weeks ago. They promise next day shipping, but it hasn't shipped yet.
3) Sent a TIVO to be repaired, never to be heard of again.
