I have all my rifles sitting under my bed in unzipped soft cases or gun socks. I know that unless you buy a fancy kind of moisture-preventing soft case, zipping a gun in there can cause brutal rust, especially in humid climates like where I live.
Does anyone know of a hard (aluminum, plastic) gun case that I can store my rifles in that will repel moisture and won't cause rust? I'm tired of all these darn soft cases and gun socks sitting around.
Thanks, y'all.
P.S. - I'm going this weekend to buy my first hunting rifle. I'm stoked!
Hey lets stop and think here for a minute. Hard cases are not I repeat NOT for storing firearms they are for transporting them.
I know you want the nifty super duper mag hunting rifle. But I think your money would be better spent on a safe or cabinet of some kind. Stack on makes some that are rather cheap they do not offer the protection of a safe but they offer more than having them just out in the open. If you have a Gander Mtn close by go and check out there gun safes. I have seen some in Wal-mart that are made by Sentry that will offer better protection over a stack on metal cabinet. These run around $100 to $300 not a whole lot. Then you would not have to worry about your firearms rusting in a hard case which they will rust in there no matter what you do. I have seen even stainless Guns finish ruined because they were stored in hard cases. Stainless steel is not RUST PROOF.
I know not the answer you were looking for but I think it would be a better use of money.
Not sure why I get a thumbs down on this answer. I am trying to help this guy out.
I would not even worry about dessipacks. You have to replace them every so many weeks or months. Get a security safe like the one at the first link below and get a Golden Rod Dehumidifier like the ones at the second link.
