Funny, people go after car/truck manufacturers for building defective vehicles but gun makers should get a pass, hmm?

On something as minor as stock paint, which is prone to wear and being dissolved by solvents? Yes, especially when it appears to be an isolated problem and is an easy fix by the customer himself.

I can get an aftermarket stock, how about the brass into scope ejection problem? No one has come with a solid fix for that problem.

But there’s no such problem, they told me so. laffin. If you put the ejector at 6:00 on the bolt face…….

I guess the Browning Dura-Touch lawsuit was without merit? The Sako soft touch stock issue is pretty common

It's quite easy to "unslick" a RA. I've never tried to "unstick" a Sako.

UVR is a bitch. I wonder if all of the cushy, shotgun cheek inserts will go next?

I hear easy off oven cleaner works on the stickiness. YMMV, (snickers in ‘A’ series).

I agree with you however that won’t make quit buying Sako. That said I only have the one Synthetic stocked.
