From a gun owner friend who has done this a time or three.

I would light strip the stock, soak in water for about a day.  Let dry and
light sand to open pours.  Then would apply tru oil lightly, let dry, hit
with 00 steel wool, reapply Tru Oil lightly again repeat repeat until
desired finish.  Lastly hit with 000 steel wool and leave as is for satin
finish, or one last light  tru oil application for glossy finish.
