    Thing to remember when buying a safe is that a '5 gun safe' is generally able to hold 5 shotguns..not 5 rifles. For 4 rifles with scopes etc. you'll need a deep one that's quoted at about 8 guns.

    Plus 1 on this, when looking for scoped rifle storage IMO depth is better than width.

    Just stating the obvious, but stand your rifle against the wall with your trigger guard facing out at such an angle that it will free stand. Measure the distance from wall to heal, you'll be surprised how far out it stands to clear the scope.
    The last thing you want is trying to stand you rifle upright in the safe and having it fall out every time you open it. An easy fix is to put bracket in the safe to hold the rifles in a more vertical position an hence shorten the angle of tilt.
