Just the standard wood used in Savage's stocks, don't know specifically what it is. I have 2 of those blonde colored ones, and a handful of darker versions; all the same stuff. My guess is that is pre-bankruptcy years, so mid-late 70's.
If you are "out in the rain and snow" and want to protect it, don't take it out. Seriously though, standard maintenance. When you get done hunting, wipe it dry and wipe with a silicon gun cloth. If you think this thing is an Heirloom, then don't use it. Otherwise, go hunt and stop worrying.
