We have all done it been out on a shoot and noticed when at home wile wiping over your new pride and joy rifle and notice a dent on your lovely walnut stock.
Very annoying and in some cases this has happened wile fitting a scope to the rifle, my mate dropped a new scope onto his new rifle stock wile fitting it, Accidents happen and theses dents on rather lovely walnut stock can depreciate the re-sale value of your rifle. I know we can't wrap our rifles in cotton wool they are meant too be used and enjoyed.
So, all is not totally lost, here is a video, and a method to remove some small dents in wooden rifle stocks this could help.
see bellow...

Re: Removing a dent or mark from your walnut stock.
I don't know if this will work on a gun stock, but I have removed small dents on oak and mahogany furniture with a damp cloth and the tip of a warm electric iron, which makes the wood swell slightly at the point of contact. If you try it, start with the iron cool and increase the temperature slowly.
I hope this helps

Aye Mick used the iron method a few times in stock restoration, works a treat if you take your time. Not a thing to undertake if you have more pressing things to do as stock restoration needs a slow steady approach.

Hi mate I would steam it out but you may have to re oil the stock where you do it
