Right now it was just in a zip up case. I can't wait to get a safe but I need to move first so I have the space for it.
Yeah, soft gun cases are some of the worst possible places to store guns. Some even warn of this on the internal label, but anything that has padding stands a good chance of being a moisture wick...The zip case might be part of the problem. It absorbs moisture and holds it close to the surface of the gun. Some silicia packets put in with the gun might help. As well as treating the surface of the gun.

a zip up case is for transportation, not storage. Get a safe and wipe down the surface of the gun with some sort of rust preventative like CLP
Build a temperature/humidity controlled man-cave with microprocessor monitoring and temperature control down to the 1/10th of a degree...I typically don't store it in the case but I had plans to go to the range last weekend but I ended up taking a nap that was the better part of 6 hours and it blew my day lol. So the gun was basically in the case for 1 week and it rusted. A safe isn't an option at the moment due to space. The best I could swing would be wall mounted stack on type of safe.
