In no particular order: Hoppes, CLP, Rem Oil

I think they all work reasonably well. For years I've used Break Free CLP on handguns and shotguns and LP on AR's. Lately I've been using Lucas products. I've used lots of others over time and never had any problems.

CorrosionX for things that rotate and for rust protection.
Montana Extreme Gun Grease for things that slide, partly because it supposedly works down to 60 below.
Tried Break Free and Rem Oil but they get sticky far too soon.
Have used 20-50 synthetic motor oil on pistol slides and it works well but is not great for preventing corrosion.

In no particular order: Hoppes, CLP, Rem Oil Plus 3 in 1. Ballistol on smokers. I mostly just do a wipe down. Never really leave anything other than front stuffer barrels soaked and even with those the bores get wiped out a few times throughout the year. Bet even Hornady One Shot would make a decent wipe down spray after hunts.

I use Mobil 1 ATF. A quart will easily last a lifetime. Remoil is good if you need a light lube but it offers little if any protection against rust.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Ok I went and looked on the shelf, cleaning and oil is rem-oil, clp and outers. I have a Nikon lens pen among a few others things that came with either cameras or scopes. That stuff probably lasts me entirely to long.

I have around 150 gallons of light weight drip oil we used to lubricate our irrigation wells. Many years ago I bought 2 small squirter bottles of 3in1 oil. I refill them as needed. Never had a problem. I have atf as well but prefer drip oil. The OP's question is one of those where 500 folks give 500 different answers. It all works out.
