Proper DR lube/grease

What is "Thee" preferred lubricant for DR's?

I've heard of Tetra grease any others?

A friend suggested TSI 301, anyone tried this?

I have been using Tetra on all of my rifles for years.

Eezox is also very good for a lube/rust inhibitor.

I have but have not used some Microlon products. It is a dry lubricant that is supposed to be very good in marine and dusty environments.

I use a lube sold by Ken Owen in small bottles, really handy for traveling

No reason to use anything other than Tetra.

No reason except maybe you want a clearly superior grease. TW25B

For areas with high forces like shotgun and DR hinge pins I use RIG + P.
