The rifle in question has shown a significant flaw in the time since though, and that is that the finish on the stock broke down quite badly after a few years, going sticky and losing adhesion to the underlying material. The recoil pad did too, but that's a small thing really. The local distributor wasn't interested either, and now the rifle has a replacement (different) stock.

Has anyone else had this?


Do you recall if it had a floorplate? I would bet anything it was an Alaskan ti...
The sticky recoil pad is certainly not uncommon on the original ti, but I have never encountered the finish going sticky on them.


Yes, it had a floorplate. Here it is:
