I received this in my email half hour ago. This should be interesting because Tikka has a 2 yr warranty on their rifles and I'm 6 month passed that, but the only reason I even know about this going on is that I purchased a Teslong borescope from amazon last Saturday.

Hello Eric:

Thank you for contacting Beretta Customer Support.

Sir, we have forwarded your photos to the Tikka factory in Finland for evaluation. As soon as we hear back from them, we will let you know what they say.

We thank you for choosing Beretta.

Best regards,

Beretta Customer Support
