    Gun bag.

    Is it ok to store, place in gun cupboard, cabinet, your airgun in it's bag or should you 'let it breathe' ?

    Wipe it over with an oily rag first.

    Quite a few of my guns are stored this way.

    Personally I wouldn't store in a bag / slip.
    I like to let them breathe

    For the last decade+ I've been living in a dampish bungalow, After use, my guns are left to air dry, wiped over with a silicone cloth, then an oily rag. Those that have slip cases are put in them. Those that don't are left out, but I keep a close eye on them. No great problems with either.

    My bag has a pocket for a VP90 sachet . It would do as it's a Napier gunbag.

    My .22lr lives in the cabinet with no bag along with my shotgun. The HW80 lies next to the cabinet.

    No kids here.

    As Rob I prefer to let them breathe.

    Allow me to recommend a Meaco DD8 desiccant dehumidifier, removes an amazing amount of water.

    Some are in slips, some are in hard cases and some are in cabinets. Thing is all are dry, cleaned, oiled and checked regularly so not an issue.
