661 Oil Test 32:1 vs 40:1 vs 50:1 ?

What kind of oil is good for a the wood on a gun ?

I've used CCL traditional gunstock oil finishing kit.
I bought a Steyr Mannlicher (full stock), it's 13 year since I oilpolish it, have never needed to do it again.
I see if I can get the time to take a picture of her.

Wood has no place on a working gun..

You can't be serious??
I don't see any reason why a "working gun" has to be ugly... and there ain't nothin' uglier than synthetics and stainless steel on any gun.
I reckon you think those fish lure glow-worm sights on handguns are "cool" also??

Wood changes impact often and is heavy.. not mention the fact that it looks like hell pretty quick if your actually hunting.
I have a a half dozen wood guns, but they are all family heirloons and rarely used.

You read the words of too many self appointed "experts" in gun publications.
No doubt you mount those large objective len, big-azz, variable power scopes on your rifles... and then complain about the weight of a wooden handle
Yeah, I'm laughin' at ya'‼ Make no mistake.

I would think Carlos Hathcock would disagree with that.

But there is some truth to what your saying. But a mcmillan HS other fiber glass & synthetic stocks aren't exactly perfect either. Nor metal such as AI. Wood, synthetic, metal, the gun should be properly bedded. Once this is done they both have advantages and disadvantages.

All can be heavy
All can look like hell
Impact change - if bedded properly I completely disagree.

Depends on the wood and purpose of the stock. In any case all of the oils should be applied at 1:32, after a glazing of 32:1. I'm fairly certain that some folks in this thread probably paint over the walnut though, softens the checking keeps from marring the calfskin firing gloves.

Fairly certain it is time to post up photos of golf equipment.

Carlos would have used something other than wood had it been available to him..
A properly bedded McMillan is a thing of beauty. I have one thats seem thousands of rounds and has never changed impact once.
Then only advantage would has is it looks pretty.
