    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.

    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.

Still had some Hoppes on him after cleaning his rifle. She was entranced with his aftershave. He ended up marrying her. Unfortunately they went to Aussie and he never hunted again.

    Ballistol on external surfaces.

    MPro7 Gun Oil down the Bore.
    In longrange riflery, trajectory is the pure science part. Gravity is a constant for our purposes.
    Wind is in the art department.
    Light is pure fucking voodoo.

    The part of the barrel if free floated off the stock, use vaseline or other thicker grease on this as you won't get to it regularly.
