Mine is 55"x21"x18" (14 gun)
Nowhere NEAR big enough.... but it was a good start for my apt. Now I am in a home and looking to upgrade. The best all round size for the money, seems to be the 24gun, 60x30x24's. You can get them at SAMS and Academy for under $600. I am looking at the 60x36x24" for my upgrade (32 gun) A little hard to move in, but will work out nicely. If money wasnt an object, I'd get the Champion 72x41x27. |

buy the biggest you can afford, with the thought in mind that you will eventually fill it up,
then repeat as necessary i'm thinking of the big liberty franklin d50 next! |

Something like 84" tall, and 40" wide. Nowhere big enough.
Best all around size safe is as big as you can fit into the house. Best would be a strong room with a vault door. There is ALWAYS more that you would want to store in a safe if it were big enough. |

Whatever you get will be too small in no time--the actual size doesn't matter. It's more a matter of logistics--getting it in (or out later)--and cost, as big ones are VERY expensive.

Are you starting to get the picture? Always, always, always buy a bigger safe than you think you will need.

Safes are 72" tall with a 24" X 36" footprint. I took the insides out of 2 of them, replaced with 6 carpet covered subflooring shelves about 9 inches apart to store handguns.
You can never have too big a safe. And after you outgrow the first one, you can never have too many safes. |

They are never big enough. If buying one get the bigest you can afford and fit into your house.

50 cubic feet. This is most, not all, of my collection. I think it would all fit just barely.

I just bought a D-23. I have 2 long guns, 2 stripped lowers, and a C&R license on the way. I am starting to worry that I did not buy a big enough one.

60Hx30Wx22D. Its the biggest I could fit in my closet, and still close the door - I still had to remove the spindle handles.

The next time that I buy a safe I am going to get the biggest one that I can afford. My safe is rated to hold 1/3 of my collection, but I was able to get 2/3 of it in there.

That's a serial number tag. The rifle is a C&R that I haven't logged into my bound book yet.

Bolted a second 9 gun cabinet in when we moved house, I could have went for just one 20 gun unit, but it wouldn't fit into the cellar. The smaller one is purely for ammunition.

Browning 26 rifle capacity.
It is 100% full ( shopping for bigger ) Excellent top notch model. Looks / function etc. Paid $700 or so for it used few years ago. Looks brand new. |

Mine is only 24x31, I just keep the pistols, black powder in case someone wants to cut a hole in it, important papers, jewelry, and some souvenir from an x girl friend. I had too many rifles for safes.

Like others have posted, get the largest you can fit/afford. I never would have believed I would "out grow" my gunsafe.

I have an FN 60"x30"x27".
It's supposed to hold up to 22 rifles. It's nowhere near big enough. |

I've only got an 8 gunner.
It's way more than full. I've resorted to pulling bolts out of rilfes and only storing those in there. When I bought it, I did so on weight - I lived upstairs and had to manhandle it up. I'm looking for the biggest safe I can get in my closet for the next one, but I'm not holding my breath. |

14 gun from Sentry. I'd say it holds more like 6-8 (plus pistols on the door and shelf) when considering scoped target rifles, black rifles, etc.
