I did a Remington 1100 a few years ago with linseed oil and using a video I found on YouTube. Sorry pictures are not real good.

MinWax Satin poly spray on. Easy and looks great

Lots of ways to finish wood stocks.
If you want a glossy plastic looking finish, spray or brush a one part poly, or spray a two part urethane. Or if you really want to go super glossy, you can varnish it, will look like glass.
Medium glossy - wipe on finish like Minwax Antique Oil, or any poly/oil blend. These are super easy to use, and easily re-applied when you want more finish/protection
Least glossy - wipe on an oil finish
