That probably makes sense doesn't it.. duh.. I guess I was always over thinking it.. Figuring the dehumidifier would keep it dry.. Thanks!!! When I get it set up next time I will try that. I know leaving them in the case can make them sweat.. I always try to take my guns out of the cases as soon as possible..

It's the fluctuations in air temperature that create condensation, i.e. going from hot to cold to hot to cold.  Best to keep it as constant as possible (i.e. outdoor temp) all the time.
Absolutly correct.  I keep mine loaded for weeks and never had a problem for decades.  Unless it gets soaked by snow or rain I case it and leave it in a shed, never take it into a warm house.
