I researched for a long time and planned to use Pro-Custom Oil as suggested by a member here but Brownell's was out. I looked for an alternative and found a lot of people using Waterlox.
I recently refinished a 1950's Marlin 336A stock with Waterlox, wet sanded with Mirka 1000g and 1500g paper to smooth any imperfection with soft rubber sanding block. It turned out far better than my previous jobs with Tung oil and steel wool.
It has a very light sheen and the pores are filled.
