Many Thanks to the both of you. Here in western Mass we have periods of hot, humid weather during the summer, moderate to heavy moderate-humididity in the winter.

Based on what you've told me, jones, it seems like this rod will work out fine.

KY Jon - GREAT set-up with the decoy "safes". I would love to have a big enough house where I could dedicate a room to firearms. Ah well, I'm not going to be buying more guns anyway. Really. Just ask my wife, she'll concur.
