For anyone with a Remmy rifle........ Remington Recall
Life is natures way of keeping meat fresh
Outdoor Brands NZ Ltd are the Remington distributor here. 09 582 0818 is their contact number.
Worth contacting them if anyone's rifle is in the affected range

Yep I just got alerted to this by a mate and my serial number is on the affected list so looks like my hunting is on hold till this is checked out worst part is forlongs which is where I got the rifle from is always shut when I knock off work on saturdays so don't know if any other reseller will get it sent in for me seeing it come from an opposition reseller.
The recall is to do with there possibly being excess bonding agent in the trigger.

Hopefully it's a simple case of checking and cleaning the excess off. But if they require the rifles to be looked at by a smithy, there is going to be a huge backlog.

If you rifle is affected (as mine is) a form pops up for you to complete. They'll send out pre-paid return shipping tags along with shipping boxes to you, for you to stick your rifle in and send it away. I'm assuming they'll rig up a gunsmith somewhere in NZ to do the work and send it back to you. No cost to you, other than the inconvenience.
Lucky I just bought a new rifle, so I won't have to do without for a few weeks.
Sounds Like my mate @Fatboy s new one is affected, cheers for the heads up Cambo.
"Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
308Win One chambering to rule them all.
I did fill out that online form so will sit by and wait for those tags etc to be sent out was just hoping to get the bugger in somewhere tomorrow so it can be sorted but for once in my life I think I will just do as I am told and do it properly. Just guts me that I got it a few weeks ago and then got hit by a recall I definitely won't hunt with it till it is checked out as safety must come first at all times.

Just a matter of getting a chance to ring them during the week unless they have an email address which i may look up.

At least they were good enough to do a voulantary recall and pay for shipping and checking etc.
Mone is affected and filled on the form..mone functions fine.

Thanks Cambo. My .270 is affected (bugger it). Like the sound of the 40% off deal in compensation though. Will need to think seriously about what to spend more money on. Don't tell the missus.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
so its definitely the trigger?
if the trigger has been replaced, no point getting into it?
I have just spoken to a mate and his rifle is affected as well but he has just put in a Timney? Trigger so he won't be following up.
