I have come up with my own ultra light lube that I have had great success with over the past few years. I mix Marvel's Mystery Oil with hexagonal boron nitride (HBN). I use a highly saturated level of HBN to MMO. The MMO is great at breaking up gummed oils and the HBN is significantly more lubricious than graphite. I started using this after we used MMO to to lube old Acme threaded gate valve rods in sub zero weather. I added the HBN for its persistent thin film lubrication properties.
It is still wise to disassemble and degrease all of the moving parts in the action before relubing.

I've been using Kroil for for a few years and the stuff is amazing!
Any of you guys have experience with it. Good or bad?

Forgot to mention that I have heard MMO can damage certain finishes though I have never had a problem.
As hunting alluded to with the Tikka recommendations, With the few moving parts in the action less lube is better.
