Glocks are plastic.... XDs are plastic.... M&Ps are plastic.... and I'd wrap a dozen 1911s around trees to claw my way any of them. Just cause it's metal... don't mean it's better. I've run them side by side through the same stages.... again, it ain't a guess.
Haven't seen a lug be a problem.... but I could see how it could, if you didn't know how to properly reassemble a rifle.
Never seen a Tikka that's an accuracy "crap-shoot"... in fact, I bet they're the most renowned 'out of the box accurate' rifle around.... so much so, that it's become a joke.
Keep trying to justify those $3000 sticks....
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
