Far more than half of today`s sporting guns have gunstocks of oiled wood. In manufacture, these gunstocks are normally pre-treated with gunstock oil. But this treatment does not provide permanent protection. Any wood – and thus, the wood used for gunstocks, too – is hygroscopic. It easily absorbs water, especially when exposed to wind, weather and temperature changes during hunting. Humidity may then intrude causing the gunstock to warp or even crack on drying.

As a consequence: the accuracy and thus, the shooting performance of the gun will be impaired. This may be expensive and sometimes even dangerous. Thus, any wooden gunstock requires regular treatment with gunstock oil SCHAFTOL® is perfectly suited for this purpose, being a specific gunstock oil of high quality and comprising nothing but the finest natural substances together with a slight addition of silicone. SCHAFTOL® offers optimum preservation of the gunstock, making it weather resistant and preventing the formation of roughness and staining.
