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

8

However, if you're a renter or in a dwelling that is inconvenient for moving/storing large and heavy furniture (such as a safe), you're better off buying 2 smaller ones.

Two 8-gun safes are much easier to move than one 16-gun safe.

But you have to do it twice 🤔

You want to move a 32-gun safe out of an apartment on the 3rd floor? I don't. However, 2 16s doesn't sound so bad.
