Thanks for the Info everyone. I bought it today for 559.00 in SS If it will hit 1and1/2 at a hundred Ill be happy. Thats about the best my heavy MKII would do! I dont realy care if it has plastic on it after all what good is the best built rifle worth if it wont hit the target? My newer truck has a lot of plastic and 80000 miles and no problems! If my new Tikka will last 2000 round taken care of I will be estatic. will know tomarrow. again Thanks to everyone who responded!
