    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.

    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.

    At least they were good enough to do a voulantary recall and pay for shipping and checking etc.

    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.

    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.
