I've used Acra Glas Gel, simply because that's what I had around, anything that drys translucent to clear ought to work.

easy repair would be take a syringe with wood glue force it into the crack then take a small drill bit size of a toothpick and drill one or two holes crosswise tamp a piece of toothpick into the holes aftdr coating the sides with wood glue to give you some reinforcement across both sides it will also keep the crack from spreading this has worked well for me on several stocks in the past and is very easy to make, it match the stock in appearance
Accra Glass. Not the Gel, the runny stuff in the red box. It will seep into the crack, and you can dye it to match the walnut. My first Krag, procured nearly 50 years ago, was cracked through the wrist when I bought it. Some of the soupy Accra Glass poured into the butt trap took care of that. For several years after, whenever I had Accra Glass left over from another project, I opened the butt trap door and poured it in. That rifle is still my No. 1 shooter, and the repaired crack is as solid as a rock.
