Get yourself a 4 gun deep safe to take the rifle scope as well. Give Duffy's in galway a call I think it's €10 p&p on top.

well i've been out shootin with a few mates now a good bit over the last year or so and decided to get me own guns, bought a o/u shotgun and a cz.17 hmr. just wanted to future proof it in case i ever do decide to get some other form of machine, expect to have the licences within the next 2-3weeks

Got a 4 gun safe with a lock top for bolt and ammo in Jeffersports in Bandon Co. Cork recently. 245 euros. Holds my .22 with scope no worries. Only on my first licence but reckoned the 1 and 2 gun safes were quite light. If you could prise them from the wall you could carry them off. The 4 gun no chance. Also look to the future. Good enough chance you might buy more firearms so having a larger safe for not so much more money could make sense. Just my 2 cents.

where abouts are you based?

Bobby_1

based in wexford, have found a local supplier who sells gun safes. 180e for a buffalo river 4 gun safe. i think that is a reasonable price for that particular safe.any comments or suggestions very welcome. thanks for the input from everybody so far.

hi bobby i have one they are very good safes;)steve
as rovi has say four guns safe is only good for two rifle
say with scopes and bipod fitted steve

Hi Bobby, welcome to the wonderful world of shooting.

Others have made good recommendations on makes of safe, so I won't go there; I just want to point out that the manufacturers tend to be somewhat 'optimistic' on the number of guns that'll fit into their safes.

That's not to say that you can't actually wedge 4 guns into a '4 gun' safe, but you wouldn't want to be too concerned about nice finishes on metal and wood, as they'll practically have to be kicked into it to get the door closed.

I've generally found the 'comfortable' capacity of a gun safe to be approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the stated capacity; that'll leave enough room to take guns in and out of it without dragging them over each other every time.

Oh, and be sure to get one deep enough if you're planning to store scoped rifles in it.

ok lads thanks for all the suggestions, i got a buffalo river 4gun safe yesterday for 150e. so sorted for the gun safe thanks for the input.
