I store all my guns in long, cotton "gunny socks" stacked in safes equipped with Golden Rod dehumidifiers. Golden Rods (or a light bulb) work by keeping the temperature inside the safe slightly higher than the ambient temperature on the outside, thus preventing condensation. No need for desiccants. In 40 years I have never had rust occur on guns so protected, including 30 years in a garage in high-humidity Houston. The socks provide some protection from dings and scratches. Bad part is they are difficult to readily access, so I keep the ones I use the most near the front.
