I would try Denatured Alcohol first. If that fails move to acetone. If that fails, leave it alone.
If the acetone works, use a rag only following the grain. Stop immediately you get to wood.
Laminates are a cow to restore. I dislike anything beech and a beech laminate is just the pits.
Would work if the finish on the rifle is shellac, won't do much to polyurethane or most old school gloss varnishes.
Denatured alcohol is a lot cheaper.
I would strongly advise against any hot water bath, linseed oil, etc.
Most cleaned stocks look bleached out and sad.
Laminated wood doesn't like to be mistreated.
Your FIRST order of business is to do no more harm.....
