The plastic parts don't concern me (I carry a Glock..I'm used to plastic/synthetic), I'll buy a wood stock (although not the Deluxe model..it's pretty and all, but I'll put that extra money towards another magazine and rings), I want a long action, and while it looks funky, I don't mind the fact that I can't top load..as mentioned..it'll be a deer/antelope rifle...four shots better be enough!
I'm off in a little bit to Impact Guns today to put my money down on a Tikka. I really appreciate all the feedback as I now know most if not all of the rifles shortcomings....and I can live with 'em.
And yep, DJTex, 25-06 is the cartridge I'll be getting.
