Cold weather oil.

Mtstalker

I have been looking all over the internet on oil that will still protect against rust and still lubricate in below zero temps and not collect dust/dirt. Getting in and out of the truck, leaving the rifle in the truck and snow builds up a large amount of moisture on my rifle. I have always oiled and then wiped the rifle almost dry but it still seems to collect a large amount of dust/dirt. I have tried slip 2000,fp-10, hoppes and barricade. Barricade and fp-10 seem to almost dry and have the lease amount of dirt after a while. I was told to try butches gun oil but it seemed quite thick for cold weather. What are some better options?
 
Works great for me.....
Eezox.....
Product description
The chemical make-up of Eezox® functions as a solvent, lubricant, and rust preventative, meaning that you only need Eezox® and nothing else. No other solvents to clean any part of your weapon, no other lubricants for the moving parts, and no other rust protectors for the metal surfaces. Eezox® is an all-in-one product and allows you to replace everything else in your gun cleaning kit.

Totally effective from 450F to -95F. Synthetic Eezox® Premium Gun Care is composed of three major synthetic components that make your gun maintenance fast, simple, and efficient. Eezox® brings these three components together into a high density solution. As the solvent portion evaporates, a thin, strong molecular structure of Eezox® lubricant remains on the metal surfaces, This protective dry coating remains on the firearm while in use or in storage - at all times.

Under the most adverse conditions imaginable, Eezox® proved itself to the Allied Forces involved with "Operation Desert Storm" in the Gulf War. In addition, The American Standard for Tests and Measurements (ASTM) B117 - 5% Salt Spray Fog Test is the de facto standard for testing a product's rust inhibiting properties. After 96 to 120 hours of testing, Eezox® scored an "Excellent", the highest rating given. Even more remarkable, after 136 hours, Eezox® scored a "Good" rating, outperforming all distillate based gun oils and other rust inhibitors available.

Wax & buff the exterior metal surfaces or have it PVD'd or NP3'd.

Oils in cold/arctic conditions are worthless.

Mobile 0w20 synthetic. I've used it in -30 temps in an AR 15 and have had absolutely no issues at all with dirt, functioning or rust. Makes cleaning an absolute breeze also. Cover everything in a light film and wipe access off

Corrosion X , wonderful product, I have used it on everything for many years. I believe it is the only lubricant allowed by the FAA for use on aircraft. Works great on electric applications to.

Better option? MOVE.
 
If you listen to all the experts you know that in time you will not have to worry about the cold anymore because of global climate change. Aka warming.

I say this entirey in sarcasm lf course.

CLP has always been good to me.
 
Sewing machine oil is the best gun oil there is because it never varnishes up but i use redline brand 0wt engine oil now. I always have a bit left over from my drag bike and it lasts forever on bolt carriers that do super duty and doesnt seem to attract grime

Many well thought of products really flopped when tested head to head in this impartial series of tests.

A series of short videos as the test progressed.

Wow that was a pretty good read. What suprised me was the friction test. It looks like i have narrowed it down to using barricade or fp-10 since neither use any solids or teflon so i can use them in the bore. Has anybody used the butches gun oil? There does not seem to be alot of reviews/information on it.
