Actually, your sweaty palm will stain the wood. black eventually.
I've done quite a few walnut gun stocks, and my favorite finish was achieved with True Oil. It comes in a bottle or a spray can. I used the bottle. I would warn the stock and the oil, rub it in thoroughly, and then set it to dry for a couple of days. I would repeat this process about ten times, rubbing it down with 0000 steel wool in between coats. After that i would buff it out with a nice paste wax. then end result wasn't so much a shine as it was a deep rich sheen.
