Help fixing blemish on R7 stock

[bnations]

How should I go about fixing this blemish on my R7 stock?  I'm afraid of ruining it in my ignorance. I purchased the rifle with the blemish and no explanation of how it came to be. It doesn't appear to be too deep into the wood grain, just the finish itself.

I would try damp #0000 steel wool first, lightly sand the wood, very lightly, and when smooth, I would try to match the stain as best that I can ! Keeping the steel wool damp, will stop it from taking too much Wood out. and go slow and lightly, don't let the wool catch and pull the wood up ! That's realy bad !       .Bill         . It looks like the original owne used a brick,or  paving brick to rest the rifle on, or some other hard rough object.

You know, the Tibet Almond Stick is exactly what Beemans sells as well.  I only wish I could find it locally to avoid shipping charges.

Iron over the blemish with a heavily dampened washcloth. The steam from the wash cloth will be forced into the grain an raise the wood. Once the grain is raised and has a chance to thoroughly dry rub i/2 a dozen coats of true oil into the grain letting it dry completely between coats. It usually takes 24-48 hours between coats. once dry, if the surface is smooth buff the area with 000 steel wool. If slightly rough sand it with a match box wrapped in 4-600 grit paper. once smooth buff it with the steel wool. Finish it with Birchwood Casey Stock sheen. Good Luck.

You think Willie Nelson is going to refinish his guitar?!?  Never!

You could also try Butchers Bowling Alley wax.

No way, dude. Sell it to Jaymo and he can rub it with his Tibet almond stick.
