Well this really sucks. My favorite rifle, a Sako A7 in .30-06 has a synthetic stock that fits me perfectly. When new it had a slightly soft feel to it but seemed very high quality compared to many off the shelf synthetics.
Sadly of late the stock has developed a sticky, gummy coating that has gotten so bad I can’t really use the rifle any more. It is not a very common model so it is not well supported in the aftermarket.
Is there any remedy for this? I have not tried any chemicals yet as I didn’t want to make it worse. I have shotguns and Rugers with synthetics as old or older and felt cheaper than my A7 that have not developed any stickiness at all.
And if it needs replacement, any suggestions who would make one for the A7?
Thanks guys, this is killing me to not be able to enjoy this fine rifle.
