Storing Firearms in your Safe...Proper temperature question???

[deadshot2]

My safe gets opened and closed several times a week and the guns inside are shot frequently. As such they get cleaned and re-oiled frequently. I don't concern myself with temp swings or fancy dessicant containers. If I were to store the firearms for any length of time a "rust control bag" would be used on each individual firearm.

75 degrees and 15% humidity in my safe.

I'm not an expert by any stretch, but that seems like WAY too low for humidity in a gun safe. At that Rh wouldn't the wood on stocks begin to totally dry out and begin to crack and / or checker?

I too am in the position now to start storing guns in the unheated garage. Family is expanding by one and that means my gun safe / wifes craft room is being turned into a nursery. From what I have read above, a good dehumidifier / heater in a good safe is the best option?

Has anyone had any problems storing their guns in the cold? I once had mine in a safe in the laundry room. The dryer hose popped off and filled the room with humid hot air. It took hours with 000 steel wool and nearly a gallon of oil to get everything back to normal.
