buffalo river gun safe

LiamLad

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone owns one of these gun safes and could tell me stuff about it. The questions i would like answered are does it have room for scoped rifles and would it hold 2 shotguns and 3 scoped rifles? This is the safe i am talking about http://www.sportsden.ie/guns/gun-accessories/gun-cabinets-trigger-locks/buffalo-river-safe-bronze-series-5-gun.html
Any help is appreciated,thanks

Not sure about that particular safe, but i have the 6 gun and it does fit 4 scoped rifles but its a tight one.

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.

Jaysus lads did i get some sort of freak safe that actually holds what it says on the tin?

cushcam

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

One shot on kill

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.

Haha I love this website ,my first question gets answered on the same day ........anyway thanks for the replys the way i see it would be to go to my local gunstore and see whats there and maybe bring my guns along and see if they fit again thanks for the help:D

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.

I have the one you're looking at and it will take two scoped rifles and a sxs. Just. Five gun me arse!

LiamLad

Just looked at their website and saw that safe, could you tell me what the price was and what series was it .....bronze,silver etc.

Ziggieire

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.

+1 That' for sure.
