If yall hate the plastic so much you can get a wood or laminate stock! People either hate them or love them! No gray area on that!
I had a T3 Hunter (wood stocked) 25-06. A world of difference compared to their tupperware stock no doubt. Ultimately, certain aspects of the rifle build I simply did not care for.... especially for a hunting rig.
1. Liberal use of plastic parts (trigger guard, bolt shroud, mags)
2. Detachable Clip (not my cup of tea on a hunting rifle)
3. Hard to load from the breech
4. Action Length..... only 1
5. Plunger ejector and a hook style extractor
6. Synthetic stock feels flimsy and has too much flex
After owning and hunting with them I came to the conclusion that the Tikka's simply weren't what I wanted in a hunting rifle... obviously YMMV.... which is fine as you only need to please yourself.
