Hi, looking for a pest control rifle, (probably PCP). I've always had wooden furniture on rifles, but thinking about buying something I'm not going to worry about spoiling the look of.

Rubberised finishes (either rubber coated beech or synthetic with 'soft touch' panels) seem to be fairly common.

However any rubber/plastic coated tools etc I've ever owned seem to degrade after a few years into a permanently sticky dust and debris magnet that cannot be cleaned.

Has anyone experienced similar with long-term use of synthetic / rubberised stocks?
