Too Bad and who cares I am telling it like it is ..it is a throwaway gun
Sako makes Tikka's. Like the plastic on the Tikka or don't like it but one gun is just as reliable as the other. If you plan to run your game down on foot and beat them to death with the buttstock of your rifle, or you plan to use the magazine clip from it to crack walnuts on an anvil then by all means stick to an all metal configuration. For the vast majority of us that plan to simply "SHOOT" our rifles you will have no problems with a Tikka and it's few plastic components. In fact in my 39 years of life through some pretty hard hunting I have never done more than scratch the barrel or wood finish on a gun. I guess some of you guys must be hunting from hang gliders or something.
There used to be a poster here named Steven Ashe..why don't you look him up and find out if his cheap polycarbonate bolt shroud never broke. I am glad you know ho to shoot a rifle and certainly glad that in your 39 years of life you have done some hard hunting in Alabama. I am really impressed
