Greg, as you may know, I like Tru-oil. I use it on all my guns. It's easy to use, you can leave it anywhere from a dull finish all the way to shiny chrome-bright. I hunted all day in the rain on Thursday with no problem. I just wipe the stock down well, let it dry and then rub in a coat of a mixture of 1/3 Tru-oil, 1/3 artists' cold pressed linseed oil and 1/3 turpentine (my stock finish maintenance "elixer"). If you want it shiny, leave a slightly thicker last coat on. If you want it satin, wipe off the last coat with a cloth, if you want it dull (which you don't), rub out the last coat with 0000 steel wool. Not fancy or expensive stuff, but it works great. That new Garbi I posted pictures of at Shotgunworld was done with Tru-oil before I even shot it.
Best regards, Joe Bernfeld
