I think I know the answer to this, but want to confirm.

Can I use Tung oil over a stained rifle stock? And how protective is Tung oil?

Yes. Tung oil was used by ancient Chinese to waterproof their ship hulls.
It will work, but I like Tru-oil better.
Just rub in with your fingers. Let dry, sand lightly, r-coat a few times and viola'...
Tru-oil uses a mixture of oils including tung oil...
