TenPoint sells a Rail & Trigger lube. I would stay away from oily lubes like mineral oil, they pick up sand and grit which will become grinding compound on mechanical parts.

I use a product available at Mal-Wart called "Tri-Flo[w]. It has teflon suspended in it, cheap and very slick, think it was originally for bicycle chains. It dries and leaves a film, so doesn't gather dirt. I like it best for my triggers, think it takes at least a lb off of them. Smells good too! lol.
