Who it's for
- Most long gun room per pound in Best Gun Safe for Mobile Home – 5 Picks by Weight and Floor Load: Hunters with several rifles and shotguns who want the most room at the lowest weight; it is a cabinet, not a safe, the claimed count drops with scoped rifles, and Amazon shows a third-party seller.
- Best for long guns in Best Gun Safe Under $300 – 5 Picks for Long Guns, Bedside and Car: Hunters and new owners with several long guns who need them locked away from kids and visitors; it has no fire rating and the claimed capacity shrinks with scoped rifles.
- Best budget large-capacity cabinet in Best Gun Safe for Apartment Renters – 5 Picks and How to Anchor Them: For a renter on a tight budget who mainly needs to keep kids and casual visitors out of several long guns in a closet; it is a cabinet, not a burglary-resistant safe, has no fire rating, and the fingerprint reader gets mixed owner reports.
What we like
- Fingerprint (30 prints), keypad and emergency key
- About 38 lb per square foot empty, the lowest of the long gun picks
- Floor and wall mounting with expansion bolts
- Fingerprint (30 prints), keypad and emergency key, so a bad read is not a lockout
- Tall interior: guns up to 45.5 in with the shelf in, 57 in tall outside
- 78 lb, with expansion bolts for floor or wall mounting
What to know first
- Thin cabinet steel; the listing quotes 15, 16 and 18 gauge
- No fire rating, and real scoped-rifle capacity is well below 14-15
- Thin cabinet steel (the listing says 15-gauge but also shows 16 and 18), so power tools get through
- No fire rating, and realistic scoped-rifle capacity is well below 14-15
- Reviewers and owners call it a gun cabinet or locker: thin steel, no fire rating, easy to pry with tools
