I asked this on the gunsmith forum but received no answers.
I'm currently finishing a walnut stock.
While I've been finishing my rifle stocks in tung oil, linseed oil, Truoil, I read that these are poor choices. What's the best finish to use?
I don't often hunt in the rain, but do at times. I also don't hunt much in negative 20 degrees or lower but sometimes do.
I'm probably over cautious when hunting and most of the dings are from the safe.
So what finish should I use? I like the oil finish look btw.
Thanks!
Everybody has their own method , I'm like you and like oil finishes, easy to fix too when a scratch appears. I used to use try oil but stopped because for me it dried too fast .. Now I use 70/20 tung and linseed mix. Works for me and no problem with the weather .
