    TBH - price is right, but description is a little shy of what the safe can actually hold.
    I bought one, as it's reasonably close to me to - freight wasn't excessive.
    3-5 gun version. If you've got sizeable scopes on your rifles, the only way they'll fit (with bit of mucking around to protect the scopes), is
    side to side - butt on opposite side of safe to barrel, jammed into the furtherest away barrel support (Omark).
    As the Omark s still a WIP, it's at the back. The Annie sits in front, leaning in the opposite direction, barrel wrapped in a rag and resting against the opposite sidewall.
    I was hoping to get an Omark 44 target rifle, 6-24 X 56 scope, 22 Annie 1410 M 54 w/4-12 x 44 and a 22 Stirling w/2-7 x 36 into it, using the provided barrel supports.
    Ended up putting the 22 Stirling into a secured A class approved, custom built wooden safe I got with the Omark, which had TR open sights.
    It appears to me that these safes are designed for Airsoft or shotties or open sighted rifles.
    As the depth (F-R) is pretty much the same, I think you'd be disappointed - even with a 5-7 or 10-12 unit gun safe.
    The bonus is the locking mechanism on the door of my safe is a two parallel bolt door, at keyhole height, about 20-22mm diameter each.
    Safe pretty solid (approx 2.5 MM walls/back, thicker, double skin braced door, and hasn't popped open, even with the good shaking it got during our local bumping around from Kaikoura's earthquake.
    Bye the bye, neither did the wooden safe.
    Quality is good, price is more than competitive, freight isn't excessive so ahead there.
    Sizing - you'll need to decide if the F-R depth will do you - only thing I'm unhappy about.
    My 2c of hard earned experience with Fort Knox safes.
