Steel pipe full of cosmoline should do it.
By long term, I mean it only goes afield a couple times per year. I know thats not really long term, but longer than I’d leave it in a hard case.
I like that cmp case, been thinking about that style for other uses, but not sure they exist for random rifles, and probably expensive if they do.
A well oiled (or greased or waxed) rifle in a gun sock in a airtight case with dessicant and minimal contact points with foam is a good idea, I use gunsocks myself in the safe.
Loose fitting closed cell foam is a good idea, will look into it. I seem to recall that stuff was a bit pricey.
The Reusable ZCORR bags look like just the thing - anybody used them?
I agree that thoughtful preparation counts for a lot. Brought to temp after the field, well cleaned, dried, oiled.
I appreciate the ideas, team. Thanks, keep them coming please.
