One thing I have learned to avoid like the plague is gun cases with the "sheepskin" type lining. I once had a rifle in one of these that had been left in a vehicle for a few hours in cold (by Southern standards) weather; upon bringing it in the house and removing it from the case, it was covered in water droplets!! I have never had that happen with a case that had either a foam or cloth lining. It may be superstition, but I don't risk it. I never leave any firearm stored for more than a few hours in any case with a foam lining; had a nice double shotgun rust in one when I was young and trusting and left it in the case for several weeks. Never again. I have stored pistols in standard pistol rugs with cloth linings (breathable, NOT vinyl) in a safe with "Goldenrod" electric de-humidifier for many years with no trouble whatsoever, but I do oil them at least every several months, and usually more frequently. Hope this helps.
