Nothing wrong with storing the firearm without the bolt in. If that's what works for you then so be it. Quite a number of sizeable collections are kept that way.
The mill/drill tube will work but they are not very leakproof. You might try HobbyLobby or similar-plastic tubing with the vinyl slip caps.
I have just used freezer bags with a little 30wt oil in the past.

Thanks Bert. I was looking at the plastic tubes and slip caps after the drill bit suggestion. If I find one, I will probably cut a notch in one end for the handle to stick out. The bolts normally go into the rifle when I pull them out of their case before shooting. They get cleaned after shooting and would go back into the bolt holster/tube with a light coat of oil for storage till next time.
