So I've pretty much outgrown my gun safe. I use 1 half for shelving for my ammo storage, and a shelf for other important paperwork, harddrive back up drives, jewerly and other valuables I wouldn't want lost in a fire.
It'll be quite sometime before I'm able to buy another gun safe, either another to add to the one I have, or buy a bigger one, but even if I bought a bigger one, all it will do is probably hold what I have now and no room to grow. Chances are I'd just buy another one the same size I have now since I've already got the shelving alotted for ammo then the 2nd one will give plenty of room to grow.
As it is now, I've noticed some of my rifles are getting scratched up and dinged up, likely from being taken in and out and it being so crowded. I've got Allen carrying cases for most of my guns. I'm thinking of just keeping my rifles in their carrying cases, remove the divider shelf in the safe, and just let put thiem in the safe on thier buttstocks in the cases, this way they don't get damaged. :hunter:
I've been told it's not good to store your guns in zippered cloth or vinyl gun cases, that they can't breathe and will rust? How true is this? What if I put a Silica pouch in each each case with the rifle? :shrug:
Any other suggestions?
