What is your favorite rifle/pistol barrel cleaner?

Can't go wrong with Hoppe's No. 9. It just gets the job done. Every time I catch a whiff of it, I’m suddenly back in my dad's workshop, cleaning rifles together. It’s such a bittersweet memory. It cuts through carbon and copper buildup like it's nothing. I've never found a reason to switch to anything else.
Dunk It. Only sold by Cylinder and Slide. A little expensive but worth every penny. Lasts a very long time. Once you use it your hooked. The easiest way to clean guns. I give it 5 stars.

I put some Hoppes Cologne on today, I know the women love it...my wife used to love it when I came to bed smelling like Hoppes.
I tend to clean my barrel with Hoppes, but use CLP to lube. I have used Frog Lube before and have some...it's the nicest smelling gun lube that I've ever used. Another one I literally can't stand to use, which says it's all natural, is Ballistol, that stuff smells worse than WD-40. I have seen people using WD-40 on their firearms, and I tend to avoid that stuff at all costs. It just gums $#!T up over time...

I've tried a few different varieties, many boutique and overpriced, but now that I'm older and wiser I just stick to Hoppes #9.
