Any good gun oil is ok to wipe the gun down when you put it up. However, less is more when it comes to wiping down a gun, you just want a very light film and you don't want it on the wood. I store all my guns in my gun safe barrel down so if I get too much oil it runs down the barrel onto the safe floor and not into the the wood at the butt stock, although I am careful about just a light film. I spray G96 onto a gun rag and wipe it, I never spray the gun, that is a good way to get too much oil on it.
