Refinish a Factory Lyman GPR Stock?

[N.Y. Yankee]

I bought a second-hand GPR stock to replace the broken one on my gun. It had a thick brown finish on it that barely showed the wood. I used acetone and rags and scrubbed the gunk off and got a nice brown color and can now see the wood grain. Question is, with what should I top it off, or finish it. Tru-Oil or paste wax. I believe those are the two choices I'm willing to do. I'm wondering what you think, but I'm leaning toward the wax.

Tru-Oil has proven to be better than just wax.

I think Ive decided to go the Tru-Oil route

Why not give it four thin coats of Tung oil? Not pure Tung oil what the big box stores sell!
