You had better have the person you are selling that rifle to sign a release for you. Everybody in the chain of sale is responsible for personal injury from a manufacturing defect, but there might be an exception for a consumer to consumer sale. Nonetheless, I would have the release signed to be on the safe side. The last thing you want to do is to have to hire an attorney to represent you in something like this that goes to trial. Wouldn't be worth the money you get from the gun. Then again, even with a signed release, you might still have to hire an attorney to file a Motion to Dismiss. Quite honestly, I think I would wait until Beretta/Sako/Tikka fix the thing and then sell it, but still have the person sign a release and keep all the paperwork.
