Bore "Conditioner" after Cleaning

[K22]

After cleaning with cooper solvent and dry patching, what do you guys recommend as a bore "conditioner" to remove any residual traces of solvent, as rust prevention and to condition the bore for the next match / string of shots. (Not speaking here of long term storage).

Do you dry patch the "conditioner" out before shooting?

A patch saturated with a good non teflon based oil, like Butches or Marvel Mystery Oil, then when ready to shoot, a loose patch to leave only a light film. I don't shoot with a dry bore, or at least one not fouled.

I use Kroil with some graphite in it for storage after cleaning. I then patch that out before shooting and put in Lock EZ and let it "dry" Then I run a clean/dry patch through before shooting. I use the Kroil with a bronze brush after shooting to loosen things up, then use Bore Tech Eliminator for cleaning.

I used to use Kroil until I discovered it turns to gum in the presence of air and it required more fouling shots than using a thin coat of oil...not to mention it reeks.

I can usually get my first clean shot after running the oil out with one stab patch into the group.

I just use one patch of kroil and chase with one dry patch.

A patch saturated with Kroil or Marvel Mystery Oil, followed by a dry patch. Before next shoot, one dry patch and go for it. Bore "conditioners", IMO, provide nothing more than that formula has to offer except another way to spend you money on "stuff".

I'm "Old School" so after cleaning and drying the bore, I soak a clean patch with (Ronson) lighter fluid and push it through. It dries in a few minutes but leaves a small amount of lube. One fouling shot and you're good-to-go. For longer term - like over the winter - the last patch through has a few drops of a non-drying, light machine oil like 3 In One, sewing machine oil, or the like.

I have been using this for many, many years.
