Rifle STORAGE
Ok....stupid question
How do you guys store your rifle in a case? I have a Remington 700 with a vs-3 leupold and a harris brms bipod. I tried to close the case, with the bipod attached to the rifle and it wouldn't close without pressure. I was afraid I would screw up the swival stud, or put non needed tension on the rifle stock barrel...etc So I was curious how do you guys store your rifle and what cases do you use? |

Hunter is correct. You need air to circulate around the weapon. Any trapped moisture in the case will cause the weapon to rust.

Storing a rifle in a foam-lined case can cause rust and pitting due to the foam absorbing moisture. If you don't have a gun safe or a gun cabinet, you can store it in the case inside a silicone-impregnated gun sock, or wipe it down with Outer's Gun Grease (since RIG is now history
 ).
