I never suggested the Browning was made of plastic, though I believe the one I handled had a plastic magazine. The Tikka and A7 are just "short-cut" rifles. Too much plastic on both for me. Brownings just have too many questionable parts and I'm pretty sure they're assembled in Haiti. I could be wrong. Handing down Brownings, Tikkas/A7s, and something nice like the Kimber could be the difference between having your kids keeping the grass cut around your grave or a cardboard box full of ashes forgotten in the tool shed!
