Just got a call from Lee of Ruger's customer service. She said that Ruger put the wrong part in the rifle and to not shoot it and send it back. They are sending me a shipping box. There is supposed to be a three day turnaround. I haven't shot mine yet and so the wait continues.

Okay, don't jump to conclusions: I'm NOT gloating.

Snafu's happen to all manufacturers. Even the 'hallowed' rifles.

Just wanting the people who got one to know. My dealer lost my phone number so Ruger was calling people with my name in my state trying to find me. I have the utmost respect for Ruger. My dad bought a lefty m77 270 win new in 92. The headspacing was to tight to load a round so he sent it back. Ruger fixed it right away. Since then that rifle has had no more problems only success in the field being my dad's do all rifle.

I just called Ruger, and they say there is NO RECALL.

They have not heard of any recall.

I have two rifles and have heard nothing.

Be careful before you send anything off.

I just called and was told that they have issued a service bulletin, not a recall.

The reason I was given was that they may have assembled some rifles with a part that’s not up to Ruger’s specifications.

Call or email and give them your serial number. They will issue an RMA and call tag.

The following is the email I received from Ruger customer service :


Please reply with the serial number of your Hawkeye African Rifles. Please include all of your contact and shipping information.

Will do. The phone number for the customer service rep I talked with is 603-865-2766. Her name is Lee. That was the number left in the voicemail and who I delt with. 603-865-2442 is the number that originally called me which after looking up is listed as Ruger's.

Good to know. I changed the title to not freak out anyone else. The rep told me there was a recall on my rifle and not to fire. But, would not tell me what was wrong and just said wrong part. Sorry for the excitement.
