When I was younger I stored my guns horizontal and never gave it a second though. Now I have a gun safe of sorts requiring vertical storage. After prolonged sitting I notice the oil runs (expectedly) towards the lower regions as they are stored. Now, if they are stored muzzle up this results in the oil running down into the receive and the main spring tube, etc. If stored muzzle down this results in the oil migrating down the barrel. We are not talking about a large amount of oil- no pooling for certain. And these are on my modern rifles that like to run a little wetter, on more traditional rifles I oil them much more sparingly and have no issues.
Do you store your guns muzzle up or muzzle down?
