I bought a roll of 8" VCI (vapor corrosion inhibitor) tubing. I do the wipe down thing, put the firearm in a gun sock, and then I make a tube of the appropriate length for the firearm (rifle or handgun) and seal the gun in the tube with an impulse heat sealer. Never seen a speck of rust on any of my firearms. If one is being taken out to be used, just trim off the seal, remove the firearm and it's ready to go. A little extra length lets you reseal the firearm in the same tube (VCI does have a limited lifetime, so I make up new tubes periodically)

My method as well. I never put a gun away without wiping it down with a light coat of oil.
There is a video on youtube that shows how to remove the lever and bolt so yo can reach all areas.
Don't over oil the bolt. Don't loose the ejector spring.
