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

An 8gun safe will not fit 8 guns unless they’re all single shot break action shotguns. Once you add pistol grips, optics, any accessories really it cuts into the capacity a decent amount.
