RE: storage
If its a wood stock yes you can over oil it, sometimes resulting in cracking the stock. But if you put it in a gun cabinet and you are concerned bout moisture then place a few brickets of charcoal in a open container in the cabinet.

I would wipe it down with an oily cloth to get rid of the fingerprints and unless you live in a very humid climate not worry about it.
