I just picked up a mint condition used Browning X Bolt 2 Hunter with the wooden stock in .308. It was too good of a deal to pass up. I appreciate all the feedback and advice. I can’t wait to get to the range with her!

Great choice, congrats!
Not much extra care needed for light use like yours. Modern wood stocks especially on that model have solid finishes that handle occasional dampness fine. Wipe it dry after hunts, store in a stable spot not a damp basement or hot trunk.
Wax or a light oil like boiled linseed once a year or every couple seasons is plenty keeps it looking good and repels moisture without being overkill. No daily babying required.
Pick: Bergara Timber for value/accuracy or Browning if you want that classic feel. All three are solid
