I've refinished a lot of rifle stocks. Some take a few coats, some many. Trick is to get the pores filled w/o the finish looking too glossy. I usually use 400 or 500 grit paper to knock the sheen off. I don't like steel wool because it can stick in the pores or pull finish out of the pores. Buff with pumice or cloth.
