I was told there are 2 "correct" ways. 1: Muzzle down, for all the reasons given. 2: Almost horizontal, but with a slight downward cant for the muzzle. Having said that, I store like most butt down with no problems.

I think we are probably more careful with the amount of oil used before storing the rifle than the military.

Zed, I agree. Careful use of oils goes a long way.
