X2. Have a Tikka t3 lite stainless in 22-250. Great shooter, butter smooth bolt but when hunting coyotes in the snow that composite stock is very slippery and hard to grip not to mention colder than wood.
Done a bit of searching for an aftermarket replacement stock but have not had much luck to date. Guessing tikkas aren't available in the usa.
