If its wood it's probably birch. What cartridge is it chambered for? Is this one you are contemplating buying? And yes it is an older rifle and it may be modified to take a short action cartridge even though it is a long action. Those light colored birch stocks can be made into a decent looking stock by sanding to bare wood, staining and either use a gunstock oil finish or spar varnish. Midway USA has a decent video on stock finishing right on thier website.
