Gun and gear reviews Advice on Gun Safe

I am looking for some advice on a decent gun safe. I don't need more than 8 gun capacity and would like a digital keypad vs key only option. One issue is my shotgun is 49 inches long which seems to be an issue with some of the gun safes available. I would like to have a shelf for ammo etc. Budget is ~$500.

Whatever the gun safe says, get double. So if you want 8 guns, get a 16 gun capacity one minimum

For what purpose exactly

The issue is though technically you have space to fit as many guns as it says, realistically you lose a lot of space if you have any guns with scopes or pistol grips. Unless you’re into shotguns and wood stock rifles without sights you realistically won’t get as many guns in your safe as it says on the label.

If its got slots for pistols it will count those two while not actually adding any additional space.
