    I have their wide 6 gun safe, and it holds 6 scoped rifles.

    The one in the link is only 10" x 10". That seems a bit narrow for 5 scoped rifles, but should easily hold 3 and most probably 4. Depends on the spacing.

    I've a scoped rifle and a shotgun in one and I don't think I'd even fit another shotgun into it.

    i have that exact safe and it will only hold two scoped rifles and a shotgun or maybe one scoped rifle and three shotguns at a stretch. it seems to be designed moreso for shotguns or unscoped rifles as the scoped guns have to be turned at an angle because the safe isn't deep enough

    I think so

    I have a 5 gun safe with two scoped rifle and a semi and its nice room to take each gun in and out. Don't know if it would be as cleanly done with 5 in it. I like the to have loads of room and so there not touching. Or leaning on each other.

    It sound like you will definitely need more than a 5 gun safe, haven said that the better the safe then more chance of it holding what it says it does.

    Looks like it. I find you always have to -1 from the figure they quote. Unless you want them damaging each other on the way in and out. Then like me, if you throw a s+s into the mix you may minus another one from the amount it'll hold. Even the ballistic turrets on the sides of one of my scopes are a tight squeeze.

    I take it you got the silver series 6 gun one?

    The 5 gun is the bronze series.

    The 6 gun one is double the price and 200mm taller, 110mm deeper & 110mm wider so its suited for rifles.


    The 5 gun will fit a 2 scoped rifles and a shotgun and an absolute struggle. might be easier with 40mm scopes. The shotgun has to be in the middle and the 2 scopes sideways over it.

    You won't get more than two rifles and a shotgun into the safe in the link. And at 10" deep its not nearly deep enough for scoped rifles. With turrets, a wide stock and a bolt handle rifles take up a lot of room.
    I wonder when manufacturers quote the number of guns their safes hold are they quoting fishing rods:rolleyes:. Cos they never hold the stated number.

    Hi,

    I just got this one a couple of weeks ago, Q3115S1, the 7 gun, 360mm deep, and my silhouette rifle with extra high mounts fits perfectly, with ample room for the scope.

    Overall a very nice safe, and I'm very happy with it.

    Regards,

    SVI40

    Hi Liam,

    It's the Silver series. I got it trade, so cost me €370.00 including delivery. I believe Ardee Sports are the agents.

    Here's the link to Buffalo River http://www.buffaloriversafes.com/silver%20series.html

    You have no hope in fitting all that into that safe. I got the 6 gun silver series at chistmas costing 349.99 delivered. good safe with plenty room. very prompt delivery.
