I have been using WD-40 exclusively ever since it came to market, whenever that was. While I do not purposely apply it to the wood it is inevitable that some will find its way onto wood surfaces during routine cleaning. I have never had any issues with stock finish related to contact with WD-40.

For a stock protectant I use Pledge furniture polish. I have been using it for years as it works quite well. I routinely use it on aircraft windows which are polycarbonate and it holds up for a surprisingly long time. I also use it on my Mec primer tray as it makes the primers flow more freely.

You should try a product called Ballistol. It was developed in Germany in the early 1900's for military use. It was found out that it was good for everything including metal, wood, leather etc, etc, and for cauterizing wounds. Its all I use anymore for everything. BUT take my word don't ever use it on an open wound it will make iodine seem like a cool breeze.

I use a silicon cloth on the exterior more then anything . I’ve been packing stuff in the saves in preparation for my travels in July and I find I have four shotguns and four rifles it’ll take a little ingenuity to fit in one of the three saves ! Not to mention what I “may” acquire between now and when I leave
