HC,
Good grief, you bought a several year old rifle. Ever think that you should have inspected it first? Could have been damaged by the previous owner. Your mistake man suck it up. Probably nothing you can say will damage Sako's reputation thier history speaks for itself. BTW I have a used Ford explorer for sale with 100K on it burns a little oil but maybe you can get Ford to put a new engine in it. Let me know if your intrested.
