I have used Minwax "Gunstock" stain with good success. I have a reddish stain I add for the old Winchesters. Then a coat of Minwax Spar Urethane does a fine job and is hard and durable with no stickiness.

I have also done the true hand rubbed linseed oil finish with good results, but it takes a lot of time and patience and I do it only when necessary to duplicate an original oil finish. And I mean hand rubbed, using the hand only, not a cloth.
