A couple people I know have had it and I really liked the fell and texture of their stocks. Not sure how important this is but I think they are bit quieter as well less clunking sounding when bang them slightly.
Yup, I have an Alaskan Ti in 25-06 that has the factory stock and the Maxguard finish on it. It first I thought is was kind of dumb, but after using it 2 years so far its been really nice. Works well when its cold, and we got lots of rain in Oregon and its a little easier to hold on to when its all wet. Plus like Ehunter says, it does make it a little less loud when you hit it.
