Is it a good idea to store a rifle in a soft case? Don't have any room to put a cabinet or safe so I have to settle for a soft case.

There are long gun cabinets small enough you can bolt them into the back of any closet. I would strongly advise against not having them secured.

The other problem with a soft case or foam in a hard case is it can trap moisture which is a no-no for guns.Ty | 815.246.AR15 (2715) | info@midwestpx.com

Use one of the long socks such as Sack-ups instead of a case, especially those cases with the lambswool that will eventually adhere to the firearm to create a nice fuzzy weapon. And find some way to secure the firearm. The gun cabinet-in-the-closet idea is good to keep it from kids (though they aren't much better than a gym locker), but also put the firearm in a sock to wick the moisture away from it."The most hated initials in America today ...

Meh, I've stored a nice SP1 Colt in a Assualt Systems soft case for two
decades with absolutely no ill effect to the rifle. However that case sits in a
safe with a de-humidifier. A soft case is NOT a good idea if the gun is to be
stored in a vehicle, that's the no-no.
Get a quality soft case and you're good to go."I kill things for a living, don't make yourself one of them"Comment

Well I'm lucky I don't have any kids. I'm only 21 and living with my parents. I'm the youngest one in the house. The only other gun is a S&W model 10 my dad keeps around for home defense in a biometric small safe by his bed. Right now I'm storing it in it's original box in the garage, with a chamber lock and bolt locked up in my dad's safe. I asked if I could use the soft case because I was afraid since my garage is a bit dusty, it would make me to have to clean the gun up before every time I took it to the range.Comment
