ML stock refinishing

Ok this might need to go to the gunsmithing forum, but it does deal directly with a muzzleloader so I will put it here unless told otherwise.

I finally managed to drag my ML out of hibernation, and I have decided to refinish the stock.

It's an CVA St. Louis Hawken, with the set trigger, .50 and .54 barrels. I got it as a kit in '92 after I left active duty, and it been a good rifle, roundball only though.

The reason I am posting though, is that I would like some opinions...which do most people prefer, the boiled linseed oil finish or tung oil?

I am quite framilier with the BLO process and finish, but i've heard alot about using tung oil instead.
Does anyone here have any practical experience with using the tung oil to refinish a stock???

Any info or opinions appreciated.
