I know it's been discussed but I wasn't paying attention. I've heard Ballistol is good as cleaner and lube.

What's the recommendations.

I have always used Hoppe's and RemOil. Seems to be working well for all of my guns

During season i use outers scent free gun oil on my rifles and don't worry too much about cleaning. After season they get hoppes #9 and rem oil.

I have switched over almost completely to Ballistol for almost everything. When I need a degreasing if I am really cleaning, I use GunScrubber.

I've used Royal Purple from Cabela's for years on my shotguns. We hunt brackish water and my guns are in great shape.

Nodust,

I'll also add that I like Eezox, as well as Breakfree CLP, as a single oil to "clean, lubricate and protect". Ballistol is also supposed to be a good CLP type product, but I can't stand it's smell. The smell of BF CLP doesn't bother me; I actually like the smell of Eezox.

I've never used RemOil, but have heard some good things about it. There are a lot of good gun cleaning solvents out there (including Shooter's Choice, Bore Shine, Hoppe's #9 to name a few), but I find myself simplifying my agents some.

Eezox and BF CLP are also great at protecting from rust and corrosion.

Whatever you use, just DON'T use WD40.......
