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.

How often do you take the shotgun out of the safe? If you don't take it out that often, just remove the barrel so you can fit it in a smaller safe. If you're using it frequently, that'd get annoying pretty quick.

Good point. I currently go to the range at least once per week but I’m sure that will decrease in the future (I’m new to guns/hunting).

Get a safe big enough to fit your rifles AND accessories. It's nice to lock all your ammo up too.
