It seems a strange choice over traditional methods and presumably there must have been a reason but blowed if i can think of one for the life of me.
Fishscale chequering is an Austrian-born thing. It was used to show the capabilities of the stocker on fine sporting rifles and shotguns and provides a more pronounced ( one way ) grip when wearing gloves.
As AA is a UK gunmaker and the fish scale is now laser cut on, it makes even less sense to have it on their stocks.
80 grit improves it no end in just a few minutes...
