Okay, I've decided I'd like to carry a rifle full-time in the trunk of my car. Likely a Mosin or an Ishapore faux jungle carbine. Maybe something else? That's not the issue though.
I live in Oregon. My trunk is pretty weatherproof as trunks go. It isn't a hermetically sealed environment, but there's no mold or fungus thriving in there.
Things get hot here in the summer, cool to cold and wet the rest of the year. The last (only) time I ever put a rifle in a case in a trunk (way many years ago) it sprouted the nicest crop of rust you could ask for in no time at all. Big, dumb mistake. Fortunately it wasn't one of my favorite pieces.
At any rate, I'm a bit paranoid to have that happen again and being as this place is the best source for folks who know pretty darn much something about everything gun related - I'm seeking guidance once again.
