    I have got one.
    Yet to fit.Waiting on builder house renovations.
    But I expect to only fit about 8 across the back.
    For memory I bought one to take 8 but the dimensions are the same as the listing you linked.
    You could cram them in but i want to get them out without scraping on each other.
    Seems to be solid enough and I had no issues with delivery etc.

    I wouldn't touch a gunsafe with that style of electronic keypad with a 10 ft pole.
    Even people with 1/4 of a brain can get into them pretty easily.

    One with just a key would be better.

    I have a ten gun safe that holds many more than ten but they do sit against each other if its full.
    There's an override key if battery goes flat

    Guns safes seam to be rated above their capacity, sure put 16 in there... if you only want to use the one(s) at the front.

    Yeah, and for sure they don’t account for big scopes

    Or pistol grips.
    Having anything scary looking and highly dangerous due to its ability to go fully semi automatic reduces your safe capacity.

    Half the stated capacity seems about right for the proper capacity, sure I can get 10 in my 14 gun safe but shit gets damaged / scratched just trying to move stuff around to get other stuff out

    Yes your dead right there.

    The Connecting bar on the Thumbhole stocks for ARs can take a surprising amount of maneuvering to get things to fig just right.

    Can't forget how annoying the chainsaw attachments are to get to fit their the worst!
