Storing My Rifles

I am currently storing my rifles inside a closet in my house, but I am thinking of putting them in a cabinet I am getting.

The only problem is that I will have to put the cabinet in an area that is not climate controlled. It would not be out in the elements or anything, but the guns would not be heated or cooled like inside the house.

So is this bad?

Will they get condensation on them?

The only time guns get condensation on them is when the steel is cold and then warm moist air gets to them, like when you are out hunting and come back to the camper/lodge/house and come into the warm atmosphere. Then the moisture in the air condenses on the cold steel. So unless your cabinet is going to be subject to wide temp swings in short time it'll be ok.

That is what I thought, but I just wanted to check with the people who know.
