I am sure the plastic is GOOD PLASTIC and it really is more of a traditionalist/aesthetic complaint that one supported by any functional deficiency.
That plastic "bottom metal" is a big detraction for me.
And it might be less abrasive if the plastic magazines were $25 (less than a steel Remington magazine) instead of $80.
BTW . . . I am not a Sako, Tikka, or A7 hater at all. In fact, I just bought a Tikka CTR in 260 (with bottom metal), and I have been tempted by the A7 Roughtech too.
