Looking at refinishing the stock and forend on my field grade Savage 24, don't really like the original flat brown finish. Has anyone had any luck with staining the birch stock with a maple stain and then using tung oil? Maybe someone has had success with another technique or finish?

Welcome to the forum.
I've used boiled linseed oil on Glenfield stocks with some luck. Sometimes you end up with an uneven finish on birch. Let us know how it goes.
