My opinion and opinions of those who are experts,and much of what I have read in rifle care books,oil is bad for wood.I use a spray that I bought years ago and sparay it on and let sit for 5 min.then buff out.I think it is called stock slick.You may find it in gun shops or Walmart.
The best way to store a rifle is with barrel down so that any oil won't bleed back in to the stock.In the old days,hunters used to use linseed oil to wipe down their stocks and I know that they sell lemon oil for furniture but for my gun stocks,no oil.
