I have seen the factory stocks both ways. My 25-06 has the oil finish look however most Classics I have seen have had the shiney look to them.
Instead of stripping and redoing yours maybe you could locate a short action Classic stock for sale with an oil finish, buy it and then offer yours up for sale. Might be tough to get yours stripped and cleaned up well without damaging the checkering. Just a thought. TB
