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.
