There are no plastic parts on either of the Sako model 75 rifles I own.

The Sako 85 has a cost-cutting bedding system that worries me, though I've heard no reports of problems with it. Instead of inletting for the recoil lug, they attach a steel plate in the stock and the recoil lug sits in a hole in the plate. The attachment appears to be accomplished with a couple of small wood screws, which is the source of my concern. I would like to examine one, as I expect Sako has a well-thought-out system, but it just doesn't show in the photos.

Beretta has a distribution system that not only precludes an examination, but I can't even buy one to examine. They will not allow a dealer to order a rifle unless he purchases a package of arms of their chosing, each year. The guns in the package are the models least likely to sell, and the buy-in cost is tens of thousands of dollars. I live in the country, in a community that can barely support one gun dealer. He cannot afford the Beretta buy-in. I don't want to be without a local gun dealer, so I will not drive to the big city to buy guns.
