I know some have said it has a terrible smell, but everything has it's drawbacks. Try ballistol sometime and see what you think
I am another Ballistol fan, the main thing I like (other than the rather strong smell) is that it will mix with water and when mixed tends to limit the ability of water to rust the metal. This factor is great when using to store the rifle as if there is any tiny bit of water or moisture in the barrel the Ballistol will limit its ability to do any damage. I buy it in a gallon container as well as the smaller spray type bottles.
