Here's my bland and nasty looking Kibler SMR with walnut stock 
. Just used 7 or 8 coats of Tru-oil. I am hard on a rifle stock. I shoot this thing in competition at least once a month and at Friendship. I just wanted a durable finish. I didn't stain it......Sure is a shooter though
That and hunting, is the proper way to age a rifle, IMHO.
Merry Christmas!
