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.

12 gun cabinet from Canadian Tire is pretty good for 8 guns but not as structuraly sound as a safe

Yep. It’s one of those you definitely want bolted. It’s easy to move it into the place you want if you get a ready to assemble but shit they do not be super strong. They are by definition a speed bump. However sometimes a speed bump is enough to slow down a theft.

I have one. Yukon brand I think.

Fits 8 ok, and meets the regulation for storage just fine.

I’ve got this. Some LED lights inside it so I can see what mag im grabbing. It’s not to keep thieves out. It’s to keep any visiting kids out. We have friends with kids and they’re not smart enough to pick locks
