"What should my humidity goal be for my safe?"

50%, give or take 20%.

I'm a dedicated GoldenRod user and the goal is to keep the contents of the safe 2 or 3 degrees warmer than the room temp. That's all you need to do to keep moisture from condensing on your guns.

It doesn't hurt to wipe them down with an oily rag or a RigRag. Or put VCI chips in there for insurance if you like. This is one kind: www.theinhibitor.com
I use them in tools boxes, tackle boxes and such. I have one in my Brownells' screwdriver set, too.
