Rifle Cleaning
i'm just curious as to what type/brand of oil does everyone use for gun cleaning? mainly for wiping down the exterior portion of the rifle. i have been using RemOil for interior and exterior but i dunno if this is the best. RemOil seems to disapate(sp?) quickly. i can wipe the barrel down real good and within 24 hours it is bone dry, as if there was never any oil applied. is this common with RemOil?

i've also just been using a bore snake. is this sufficient or should it be done more in depth with a Dewey Rod or something similiar? the bore snake seems to be doing a great job. normally with one pull there is no reminents of powder, lead, copper, etc.

As for oil, I use some Rem Oil but I mainly use this:

I've been pretty happy with it.
I also use this for my bolts:

But the stuff is priceless duck hunting. I hunt salt water for ducks, and you need to put an application on right when you get off the water. And it works great for that.
