Kroil for rust prevention?

[MarkInPA]

Curious if Kroil is good for the final step in bore cleaning for rust prevention or if a different oil might be a better choice? I know the Kroil is sometimes used in conjunction with JB Bore Cleaner to clean the bore. I guess its properties for penetrating the steel aid in the cleaning process. Just not sure on the properties for rust prevention.

Something else related for discussion. Concerning the new Thoroclean and Thoroflush, are these really new bore cleaners or are they just reinventing the wheel from Kroil and JB Bore Cleaner? They seem to be very much the same to me. Not sure which one might be better.

I've used it for years, but... couldn't prove it's better, however, it seems to work for me. Many of the Palma, F-Class, Military & Swat snipers guys I've known over the years have used it as well. I still use it. Cheers

Addition: I should have mentioned "only" in the bore. Frank in the Laurels is correct.

But the deer will smell u coming fer sure
