My hunting rifle is a .338 sako with an oil finish stock. The stock finish is wearing off under the receiver and on the cheekpiecewhere it gets lots of wear and exposure to moisture when i carry it. I'm not real concerned with the looks but I am worried about moisture damage to the stock without the oil finish.
Can I just rub in some oil in these places to protect the wood? What type of oil should I use? I was going to try some boiled linseed oil but thought I'd ask first.
