I also disagree about oil finishes being poor in wet weather. They have used them in England (where it is known to rain from time to time)for who knows how long on better guns than I have without the stocks getting water stained. I think the biggest problem is people do not maintain the oil finish. I have oil finishes on all of my shotgun and rifle stocks and have no trouble with this type of finish. I have used these guns in all kinds of bad weather from down poors and ice storms, to snow storms.
