Froglube is great for ARs and pistols, and it smells great, but I personally prefer a heavy grease for my bolt guns. Thinner/lighter lubricants can allow the lugs to gall over time. Most bolt guns prefer to be pretty dry, in my experience. I put a dab of grease behind each bolt lug, and on the cocking ramp, then another little dab on the raceway. Oil isn't thick enough for this application, and it attracts dirt. As far as the bore goes, don't feel like you have to scrub it every time you shoot it. For precision rifles it's generally best to leave a little fouling in there. Unless accuracy starts to drop off, you probably don't need to clean the bore more than every 3-500 rounds. Your rifle will tell you. Some really high end barrels like to be cleaned even less frequently than that!
The only cleaners/lubricants that I use on my bolt guns are Butch's bore shine, hi-slip moly grease for the lugs, and some generic light gun oil for after I deep-clean the bore every few hundred rounds. A nylon brush for the chamber can be helpful, and a quality brass jag for the bore. Get a one piece cleaning rod and a bore guide, and you're set.
