Tim, There is no clip for this firearm, but the 4 round magazine is a combination of steel and polymer parts. Steel: Magazine body frame, Springs. Polymer: Base plate, Magazine Body Covering and Magazine Follower. https://v7b7b3s9.ssl.hwcdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Savage-SLWH-MagC.jpg

Tim - the magazine is polymer "Designers also borrowed the lightweight magazine and framework from Savage's Trophy Hunter Series, replacing the standard heavy metal components found inside many heftier hunting rifles with a bulletproof base pad and rigid cross-bracing system crafted from light but extremely durable polymer."
Tim, Savage wanted to make this rifle light weight and uses a "Polymer" Magazine for weight savings. -- https://www.rifleshootermag.com/editorial/first-look-savage-model-16-lightweight-hunter/83775
