Hello Hide,
I’m researching in prep to purchase my first manners stock. I’ve noticed you can get a gloss coat for only a few bucks extra. Is that gloss clear coat better for durability than the standard matte finish?

Would also love to see your gloss manners stocks for reference as examples in searches have been few.
 
Both are plenty durable. It's more for how people like their rifles to look. Here is a pic of the Bloodshot camo in both gloss and flat. Just comes down to the look the shooter wants for the rifle.

I said it was the best looking stock I ever had. I don’t have the stock anymore because someone liked the rifle more than I did
I just got a tcs in midnight camo matte but thinking of doing the high plains gloss like the one you had. The gloss really makes the carbon fiber pop. Did you have any issues with the gloss finish being slippery?
