I'm with AlaskaCub. I have dropped, or fallen on rifles enough to be scared of a plastic trigger guard(of all things I woudn't want plastic). Of course I often hunt in steep rocky terrain. The A7 may shoot extremely well, but for the same money you could buy an XCR.
yeah but replacing a tikka with a kimber is blasphemy, you may trade plastic, but your trading it for poor fit and finish and spotty accuracy, I asked my smith about a kimber and he told me the last one he had in had the bore cut off center. many plastics are in some cases tougher than metal, I think I would rather have a plastic trigger guard than a pot metal one like what comes on a remington
