See if your SA-08 28 Gauge is affected

If you own a Weatherby SA-08 28 Gauge shotgun, please enter your serial number below to determine if your shotgun is subject to the recall:




The safety recall is based on reported incidents of accidental discharge upon bolt closure and chambering of a live shot shell. A corrective safety upgrade has been identified, which will be fully implemented upon completion of testing to achieve assurance that the safety upgrade prevents occurrences of accidental discharge as reported. Accidental discharge of any firearm can result in severe injury or property damage if the muzzle of the firearm is pointed in an unsafe direction at the time of accidental discharge.

Weatherby apologizes for any inconvenience to its customers resulting from this safety recall program, but it is important that owners of affected shotguns take advantage of this free repair program and do not use an affected shotgun before it has been repaired.
