i am going to be buying a unfinished stock for an old 300weatherby. i want advice on what type of walnut to pick-claro, black, english, or bastonge. i like the looks of a stock with black streaks, figure and such. i want it to be hard to handle the 300's recoil, not really worried about weight. i just want some opions from real people and not internet articles and want to get it right as this rifle will be around a long time.

i will probley use tru-oil to finish the stock unless there is something better out there. thanks for the help
