Not sure why I didn't think of his before but in any case, I discovered a way to get my rifles out of the way and safe from damage. Hanging them from the ceiling.

I used 2 1x4's spaced 21 inches apart and attached bicycle hook hangers every 5 inches. Secure the boards to the ceiling with long screws into the joists and they are up and out of the way. If you need to further secure them for legal reasons, a wire cable could be run through each of the trigger assemblies and fastened to through bolts on each end. An 8 ft section will hold 18 rifles. Make sure to use the rubberized bike hooks.

Just now seems strange not having a rifle sitting here in the corner.
