Thread: Stock refinishing

Danish oil. But as @mimms2 said. I personally prefer a fine scotch pad because it cannot leave behind anything that causes rust.

I also like to soak the first couple coats on before scotch brite, assuming there isn't any contaminants in those coats. Then lots and lots of very thin coats, it sucks and takes time but feel it's worth it. Also be prepared for wankers.....ahhh tennis elbow. The more you rub it in fine layers the better.

Damp the stock after cleaning and hit it with hairdryer or heat gun (careful with heat gun) and you will probably be surprised how much grain raises. Although hopefully not much with a Sako.

Good time to steam out any little dents too. Tru Oil in barrel channel and butt/grip areas only for me. It works well but I prefer the hand rubbed with oil look on the body of the stock.
