Pro-Shot Bio 4x Gun Oil 1 oz Squeeze Bottle Review

The Pro-Shot Bio 4x Gun Oil 1 oz Squeeze Bottle Made a Bold First Impression

The Pro-Shot Bio 4x Gun Oil 1 oz Squeeze Bottle arrived promising a cleaner, greener approach to firearm lubrication. This oil, manufactured by Pro-Shot, distinguishes itself with its non-toxic, biodegradable formula derived from USA-grown crops. I’ve spent years relying on petroleum-based lubricants, and the claim of being 4x as lubricious intrigued me.

My aging lever-action rifle had been exhibiting some sluggish action lately, especially after a particularly dusty hunting trip. I needed a lubricant that could penetrate, clean, and protect without contributing to environmental concerns. Options like Hoppe’s No. 9 and CLP Break-Free are excellent, but they lack the eco-friendly aspect. I chose the Pro-Shot Bio 4x Gun Oil 1 oz Squeeze Bottle hoping to find a sustainable solution without sacrificing performance.

Upon opening the package, the first thing I noticed was the absence of the strong chemical odor I’ve come to expect from gun oils. The oil itself has a light, almost viscous consistency; the 1 oz squeeze bottle is compact and seems durable. Initial impressions were positive; I was eager to test its lubricating power.

Real-World Testing: Putting Pro-Shot Bio 4x Gun Oil 1 oz Squeeze Bottle to the Test

First Use Experience

My first test was on my neglected lever-action rifle after a weekend hunting trip. I applied the Pro-Shot Bio 4x Gun Oil 1 oz Squeeze Bottle to the action, bolt, and trigger group. The rifle’s action immediately felt smoother, even with the accumulated grit and grime from the field.

I tested the Pro-Shot Bio 4x Gun Oil in relatively dry conditions, with temperatures hovering around 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The squeeze bottle made precise application easy; I didn’t need to worry about overspray or messy application. After working the action a few times, the difference was noticeable; the rifle cycled rounds with noticeably less effort.

There were no immediate issues, but I did notice that the oil seemed to absorb the existing grime, turning slightly darker. This suggested that it was effectively cleaning as it lubricated.

Extended Use & Reliability

After several weeks of use and multiple range sessions, the Pro-Shot Bio 4x Gun Oil 1 oz Squeeze Bottle continues to impress. The rifle’s action remains smooth, and I’ve noticed reduced friction even after prolonged firing sessions. I primarily used it in temperatures ranging from 30 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

The oil has held up remarkably well; there’s no sign of gumming or thickening, even after sitting for a week between cleanings. Maintenance is simple; I just wipe down the affected areas with a clean cloth after each use. Compared to my previous experience with petroleum-based oils, the Pro-Shot Bio 4x Gun Oil seems to attract less dust and debris, resulting in cleaner operation overall.

So far, this oil outperforms many of the other synthetic lubricants I have previously used. It definitely doesn’t disappoint.
