Storage

[Phil Yearout]

While LOM cases are very cool (and I have several) they mostly stay on the shelf and I transport my guns in long cases for the very reasons Daryl noted above. And I also know from experience as I once watched a set of barrels slide across the pavement . Some scratches but no major damage fortunately.

And I may be wrong, but IMO if you're worried about oil soaking into the wood you're using too much oil .

I use long cases for the reasons mentioned also. I once had the forearm slip from my hand and really do a number on a nice stock.

Not to mentioned lubing the critical areas of your guns action. If you take them apart to fit into a takedown case you really should wipe that lube off then reapply it when reassembling it. Not something I'm willing to do between coverts or fields in the cold or rain. Just my routine...do what floats your boat.

And there is no reason for those cute little cut outs that separate guns in the gun safes. You can get a lot more guns in them without all that interior gingerbread. West of the Rockies we don't have to worry about rusting humidity, until you get west of the Cascades.
