Likewise. Does a great job on all metal.

Ballistol.

Per my earlier post. Ballistol for everything external. If really grubby in the bore Hoppes #9 on a wet patch, soak 10 minutes then bronze brush and follow with a dry patches until clean then a light ballistol patch for storage.

Pull it out and run a dry patch through before use. Sorted.

crc 808 silicone for outside / inside bolt, action - silicone grease for inside the bolt/firing pin, break clean the action/ bolt when dirty after afew weeks in the bush then re-lube and repeat

So the consensus is basically anything you fancy

Or whatever you have that isn't a drying gumming oil like some of the crc or wd products. And don't get silicone near lenses, it's a slag to get off and there's a high chance you'll take the coating with it. That's any aerosol really... Also some products eat plastic stocks or soften wood.

+1 for Ballistol.
Also it smells pretty.

I use Ballistol down the barrel to stop pitting but I kroil it out before a day at the range.

Inox

Ballistol on external surfaces.

MPro7 Gun Oil down the Bore.

G96 inside and out

Wipe down externally and bore with inox. I use atf on the bolt

Use the oil of your choice but put some effort into the environment your rifle will be stored in.

Yse some sort of dessicant to reduce the moisture in the air , and maybe organise a small incandescent lamp to heat the air and dry it as well
